Summary

An international team successfully drilled a 1.2-million-year-old ice core from Antarctica, reaching bedrock nearly 2 miles deep at Little Dome C.

The ice core will help scientists analyze Earth's atmospheric and climate evolution, shedding light on changes in Ice Age cycles and greenhouse gas levels.

Preliminary findings indicate carbon dioxide levels today are 50% higher than at any point in the last 800,000 years.

Funded by the EU, the Beyond EPICA project highlights advancements in understanding past climates and human impacts on global warming.

I wonder if the elite bunkers and "ai" would save them from this

Yes, Zuck would probably live an extra 10 years in his supersized concrete coffin, until a critical system fails or one of his staff member finally goes crazy and eats him

I asked AI and it said yes

The AI would eventually hallucinate that the zombies are one of the residents and let them into the bunker.

How bad is the world we have created for ourselves that a zombie apocalypse sounds like quite a nice change.
