<div>Greenland Ice: Drilling right down to the ground below, a
once-forested Southern Greenland</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Abstract of the journal article: bold added</div>
<div><font face="Geneva"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Geneva">"It is difficult to obtain fossil data
from the 10% of Earth's terrestrial surface that is covered by thick
glaciers and ice sheets, and hence, knowledge of the paleoenvironments
of these regions has remained limited. We show that<b> DNA and amino
acids from buried organisms can be recovered from the basal sections
of deep ice cores</b>, enabling reconstructions of past flora and
fauna. We show<b> that high-altitude southern Greenland, currently
lying below more than 2 kilometers of ice, was inhabited by a diverse
array of conifer trees and insects</b> within the past million years.
The results provide direct evidence in support of a forested southern
Greenland and suggest that many deep ice cores may contain genetic
records of paleoenvironments in their basal
sections."</font></div>

molecule of carbon dioxide has strong absorption bonds, particularly
in the infrared region of the spectrum at wavelengths of from 12 to 18
microns. This is the spectral region where most of the thermal energy
radiating from earth to space is concentrated. By increasing the
absorption of this radiation ... the carbon dioxide reduces the amount
of heat energy lost by earth to outer space."</font></div>
