QualityTime-ESL2 Climate Change: Today vs Tomorrow Average temperature today = 15° C –Without the greenhouse effect: -18°C –Over the past century: A rise of 0.7° C Predictions (The most catastrophic!) –A rise of up to 6° C –Over the next 100 years Marianne Raynaud Copyright 2015

QualityTime-ESL14 Evolution of the Atmosphere Over the Last 400,000 years They have to …drill “straight” down (through moving ice) After that they have to take the “carrots” of ice up to the surface Carrying out an engineering feat! A shaft: roughly 3,200 m in depth Taking the “samples back” … “the easy part”, but first… Marianne Raynaud Copyright 2015
