In addition, the air trapped in the ice can be analyzed for trace
gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. This was done in
laboratories in France (in Grenoble, by the physicist Claude Lorius
and his co-workers) and in Switzerland (in Bern, by the physicist Hans
Oeschger and his team). Results show that the carbon dioxide content
of the atmosphere closely follows the ups and downs of temperature.
Whenever it was cold, carbon dioxide and methane were low in
concentration, whenever it was warm, they were both high.

Warmth equals more life. More life equals more methane, CO2, etc. When
things cool down life dies off, carbon gets sequestered and waits for the
next round of global warming.
