Doc We have
ice core samples going back 800,000 years.
Not exact matches
for example... you can
go back in
ice core samples as far as 800,000 years, and still locked in the
ice is a tiny amount of the atmoshpere from that time, telliing us volumes of information.
I could
go on, but the fact of the matter is, if you use just the bible to map out a timeline it's a little wonky but doable because for over 2000 years its had revisions and edits so that it would make more sense, if you want to really look the history of the world through geology,
ice core samples and what not, it'll paint a very different picture.
Also,
Ice core samples that
go back as far as 800,000 years have atmospheric gasses trapped within, so give a source to determine the make - up of the air, showing consistant level of carbon... directly refuting the AiG site that claimns the air has changed.
But the 100
ice core samples in Greenland and Antarctica
going back 800,000 years including over two dozen inter-glacials when large differences in CO2 levels and temperatures were measured.
Now the locations of avaialble proxy data (tree rings,
ice cores, ocean sediment records, corals etc.) are not necessarily optimally spread out, but the spatial
sampling error is actually quite easy to calculate, and
goes into the error bars shown on most reconstructions.
You can't take data for a couple of hundred years and screech that «this matters more and is gonna kill us all» when we have
ice core samples that show conditions much worse than this in the distant past.
Data on greenhouse gas abundances
going back beyond a million years, that is, beyond the reach of antarctic
ice cores, are still rather uncertain, but analysis of geological
samples suggests that the warm
ice - free periods coincide with high atmospheric CO2 levels.
Turn the lights out
go back to the stone age climate change has been changing for thousands of years look at
ice core samples.
For a proprietary dataset, this could mean, «
go sign your own NDA and see the proprietary data», or it could mean, «
go gather data the same way they did» (e.g. in the case of
ice cores or other repeatable climate data
samples.
Scientists dig deep into the rock and sand of the sea floor to
sample Earth's climate history many millions of years ago, since the oldest
ice cores go back only 850,000 years.
And scientists can
sample ice cores, permafrost records, and tree rings to make some assumptions about the sea
ice extent
going back 1,500 years.
SD: We have actual
samples of air from
ice cores going back over 800,000 years, and CO2 has never been this high in that time.
«They're talking about the instrumental data which is unaltered — but they're talking about proxy data
going further back in time, a thousand years, and it's just about how you add on the last few years, because when you get proxy data you
sample things like tree rings and
ice cores, and they don't always have the last few years.
He said scientists have been able to correlate changes in atmospheric temperature with changes in levels of carbon dioxide
going back more than 500,000 years by analyzing
ice core samples and the CO2 bubbles trapped inside.
Ice core samples become very hard to analyze the further one
goes back in time, so I am not sure exactly how good it is for determining climate in the deep past.
