Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best
completes the unfinished statement about the passage.
Scientists have discovered that for the last
160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent relationship between the
amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the planet.
The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was
confirmed by scientists working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a
glacier, they extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice from the hole. The glacier
had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus
drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time.
The deepest sections of the core are composed
of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists in Grenoble, France,
fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air
released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of
certain isotopes in the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric
temperature at the time when that particular bit of water became locked in the
glacier.
The result is a remarkable unbroken record of
temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Almost every time the
chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped.
When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5 °C), carbon dioxide levels dropped
to 190 parts per million or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth
basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280
parts per million. Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per
million, but never rose much higher until the Industrial Revolution beginning
in the eighteenth century and continuing today.
There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change goes back much further than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million years ago. The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned today.
