Carbon Dioxide Drop And Global Cooling Caused Antarctic Glacier To Form

Global climate rapidly shifted from a relatively ice-free world to one with massive ice sheets on Antarctica about 34 million years ago. What happened? What changed? Scientists offer a new perspective on the nature of changing climatic conditions across this greenhouse-to-icehouse transition -- one that refutes earlier theories and has important implications for predicting future climate changes.
