New research has shown that the mighty ice sheet covering the Antarctic froze into being when the world had a much higher level of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere than it does today.
By analysing ancient algae found in deep-sea core samples, Professor Matthew Huber and his colleagues determined that the mile-thick ice which now covers the south polar continent formed around 34 million years ago. At that stage the atmosphere held much more CO2 than it does now, some 600 parts per million (ppm) as opposed to today's level of 390 ppm.

Didn’t “The Great Global Warming Swindle” from a few years back touch on this?

Damn those pesky facts. They just keep getting in the way.

Look,if fairies wearing boots would promote the socialist agenda of America’s destruction, there would be jack-booted homosexuals stomping everything in sight and the DNC MSM would gloriously proclaim that OWS have “free speech” and not so bad dancing allies!

I have found that FACTS are not really able to be used on the Climate idiots. People that are trying to “Hopey Changey” the world are not influenced by any research that doesn’t give them control over our life. These articles will not get any attention.

A question for the global warming crowd: Why are the polar ice caps melting only at the north pole, but growing at the south pole if it’s a global phenomonon?

If you check out the historic CO2/Temp charts for the past several hundred thousand years, you'll see that CO2 continues to increase during and post ice age entry.
So what could that data be telling us?

And to some this will be indisputable proof of global warming.

Even at this late date there are fools who continue to place their faith in the shamans who regurgitate this scam in the hope of wealth redistribution and a massive step forward in the implementation of Agenda 21 depopulation goals. I am so very tired of seeing this dreck over and over again. This myth has more lives than a sack of cats. I just can't wait for the rock opera to come out about this mindless drivel.OMG! The islands are sinking and there are dead polar bears floating by my gasoline powered yacht. At the same time, the serious kids are pondering the effects of a Maunder minimum on steroids.

" And to some this will be indisputable proof of global warming."Ain't that the truth. It's too hot! Must be global warming. It's too cold! More proof of global warming. It's just right! Indisputable proof of global warming.
I would love to formulate an international scam where every conceivable combination of phenomena would be 'indisputable proof' of my claim. Beautiful!

But.....But....Ice could not even form with CO2 levels that high. It would have been an inferno Oven on Earth.

What the graph shows is that the more plant life existent, the more carbon gets sequestered, the lower the Earth's temperature becomes:
The Carboniferous and early Permian were periods of huge plant growth.
So today on a large scale, the Earth is gaining plant growth, leading to global cooling. On the smaller scale, the Earth is still warming from the end of the Great Ice Age, not to be confused with one of the Snowball Earth Periods.
Naturally, any Lib immediately gets the obvious confused and sees everything backwards, since they continue to look to the past as the ideal social and environmental conditions. Trouble is, Libs have poor eyesight and can only see back a handful of centuries...

Hmmm, so that means evidence of prior global warming is frozen into the Antarctic ice core!
