Conclusions

This research is critical because ice cores allow researchers a look at the climate from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Ice cores reveal a great deal of information regarding the subtle changes in our climate. Using ice cores alongside other records of previous climates, like tree rings, enable scientists to develop a clearer picture of the climate change our world is undergoing. Through the research of ice cores scientists begin to develop a better understanding of the mechanism of our climate, and the ways in which humans are having an impact.
