FIGURE 1.6. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (upper curve) and temperature variation (lower curve) over the past 160,000 years, from ice cores taken at Vostok, Antarctica. The record shows long stretches of low temperature (ice ages) separated by brief, warm interglacial periods. The correlation between CO2 and temperature is quite obvious. Note also the small change, averaging perhaps 6°C, between the present warm climate and the recent ice age. Data do not extend to the present, but stop well before the industrial era. (CO2 data are from Petit et al., 2000; temperature data from Jouzel et al., 1987, as reproduced in the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.)

The Climate System The northern border of Canada’s coniferous boreal forest closely corresponds to the mean location of the leading edge of arctic air in summer. The southern boundary of the boreal forest nearly coincides with the mean location of arctic air in winter.
