Evidence for Temperature Rise Ice core Temperature and CO2 Record
Conclusion There is a correlation between CO2 and temperature records. The ice core records show us that when CO2 levels are high so are temperatures and vice versa! Ice cores therefore give us good evidence for temperature change and the cause of that change!!!
