ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Aug. 27 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release on Aug. 26:
A team of scientists has nailed down the temperature at the peak of the last ice age, a time known as the Last Glacial Maximum, to about 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
Their findings allow climate scientists to better understand the relationship between today's rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide--a major greenhouse gas--and average global temperature.
