This graph shows the fluctuations of CO2 and temperatures over the past 150 thousand years.

Scientific Evidence of past global warming and cooling

The data obtained from ice cores show that Carbon Dioxide and Temperature are linked. An increase or decrease in CO2 is followed by an increase or decrease in temperature. Other factors such as volcanic activity, solar spots etc. have been linked with temperature fluctuations. Here is a list of web sites that will tell you more.

Global warming might produce a new Ice Age

Scientists have tried to predict how much the temperature will increase. This is not easy as there are many factors that can alter their calculations. In some theories, the melting of the Polar ice caps would mean an outflowing of heavy, cold, low salty water into the oceans that might interfere with the golbale circulation of warm and cold ocean currents. In the past, there has been evidence that such a thing occured and that it produced an ice age in the Northern hemisphere. It seems ironic that global warming might provoke an iceage.
