Records of ancient temperatures are provided by O18, a heavy isotope of oxygen that has 18 neutrons in its nucleus instead of the 16 found in ordinary oxygen atoms. About one of every 500 atoms of oxygen in water is O18, and water molecules containing the heavy isotope will fall from clouds in the form of rain or snow before those with ordinary oxygen atoms. In colder weather, the isotope falls even more rapidly. Thus, by the time that clouds arrive over the site where the ice cores were taken, the ratio of O18 atoms to ordinary oxygen atoms...
