How do you get temperature readings from ice cores?
Clearly ice cores are very useful for finding the various gas concentrations of the past.
But, let's be serious, an ice core is a series of layers of ice and snow/ice/gas trapped in between. Thickness is the amount of snow/frost and the force of the ice on top compressing it.
How do you get a "global temperature reading" from one ice core from Antarctica???
