Antarctic ice sheet is result of CO2 decrease, not continental breakup
Durham NH (SPX) Aug 01, 2014 - Climate modelers from the University of New Hampshire have shown that the most likely explanation for the initiation of Antarctic glaciation during a major climate shift 34 million years ago was decreased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The finding counters a 40-year-old theory suggesting massive rearrangements of Earth's continents caused global cooling and the abrupt formation of the Antarc ... more
