**Video** Secrets in the Ice
"Secrets in the Ice" explores Scripps Institution of Oceanography's history as an original source of climate change science through the work of Charles David Keeling and others.
This short film explains the relationship between carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere and global warming.
Dr. Jeff Severinghaus, Ph.D. and professor states that human beings are now in control of the climate, that "what we choose to do" is the major variable in determining the longer term impacts of climate change.
Furthermore, he asserts that there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than there has been for 800,000 years. Dr. Severinghaus studies the composition of ancient atmospheres by analyzing the air bubbles frozen in Antarctic and Greenland ice cores.
Ted Torre-Bueno, President of Empowered Energy Solutions, explains partnering with Scripps to provide energy modeling and efficiency engineering for the Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
