This story was about the ice research that Nancy Bertler did using the ice from Antarctica to find out the earth's timeline and how much CO2 ( Carbon dioxide ) there is in the atmosphere.
Using drills they cut out the ice cores and take them back to New Zealand to study them under a microscope by melting the ice with a hot plate. The research shows that the CO2 levels have grown over the past thousand years. If we don't do something we are in danger of the whole world going under water. Antarctica has more to do with global warming.
