Artist Questions Science Of Reconstructing Earth's Ancient Atmospheres From Ice

April 12, 2010 - PRLog -- His fascination with the art of fluid has led artist, Robert Kernodle, to explore the science of ice, in a new article just published at hubpages.com - an internet community of writers.  Titled ICE Core CO2 Records - Ancient Atmospheres Or Geophysical Artifacts ?, Kernodle's article can be accessed in its entirety, for free, at the following link:

The main question Kernodle explores is, "Do ice cores drilled in Greenland and Antarctica really contain fossils of Earth's ancient atmospheres or just artifacts of physical processes that remix the contents of glacial ice in its millennial fluid flow?"

People who have raised this question before have endured sharp criticism, but Kernodle suggests that a healthy skepticism is still in order.
