Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctica

Analysis of the ancient ice is expected to show how Earth's atmosphere and climate have evolved. Scientists say it should provide insight into how Ice Age cycles have changed, and may help in understanding how atmospheric carbon changed climate. Read more: https://

Haven't these people ever watched a sci-fi movie or TV show?

its tragic how much misinformation is present here. if you dont want someone to try to help you... just contiue on your way. no need to lash out against things you arent remotely interested in i vesitgating because you find them difficult to understand.

Maybe they will find my i fone i dropped when i climbed back into my DeLorean!! ☎️. 🤣

Keep it secured. Don't let a long-dead virus get out, plz. 🥴

[summergivens]

It's funny how many experts there are that think they know more than people who study this for a profession.

"Why don't we just...wait here a little while. See what happens."

I think that they found the Dolphin's hope of making the playoffs again down there...

Next, they will take the viruses to labs, to engineer the next biochemical weapon for the next pandemic. I've seen this movie before😂

Here’s Mr. Musk’s ice delivery for his frozen margarita.

[chrismechanic]

These guys are going to eff around and unearth The Thing!
Then they're really going to be in trouble!🤣

Crazy to think that the earths temps are recorded within the ice showing us heating and cooling cycles. Don’t worry about global warming, the next asteroid will cool things off again, lol

[bjsnyder]

Well, , , , at least I’ll sleep better now!

I know that 1.2 million years ago is unrealistic. But two miles of ice does indicate that this area of earth has been frozen for many centuries. The earth is still somewhere beneath the ice.

And people really think cow farts are gonna take the earth down 😂😂😂

[Sarahsmile]

This will only cause more earthquakes around the world. 🤦‍♀️ Smh! Woe onto those who destroy the earth.

[paulschliker]

I’m amazed Italian scientists can’t speak English. Do you want the world to view your clip? If you do then learn and speak English! I’m not interested in reading subtitles…

[splinewalker]

How can something only 1.2 million years old be 2 miles down in the ice. Make it make sense.

[ChadBrown-ng]

But the Earth is 6000 years old, ahhh Christians
