Water, Water, Everywhere
Does the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere really affect ambient temperature? In a greenhouse, a large ice sculpture was the focus of a glacial melting exercise. Finalists took sample ice chunks and used lab methods to determine the melting rate in the ambient air, and then again in the CO2-enhanced air. They then compared and contrasted the effect of CO2 on melting rates.
