European lead in reading past climates from ice cores

Climate change is a reality today, but how can we find out about the future dangers it poses? What we really need is a full record of the Earth's climate for several hundred thousand years, complete with samples of air from different epochs that can be taken to the lab for analysis. Incredibly, this record exists, in the icecaps of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and a European Science Foundation program has a key role in deciphering it.
