COincreases during the interglacials, decreases during the glacial maximum period, down to 180 ppm, back up into this last interglacial, again up to 280 to 300 ppm.

The park is rich in its diversity of nature and culture. It includes a rare Carolinian forest, numerous species at risk, internationally significant geological outcroppings from the interglacial age, and evidence of human history dating back 10,000 years, including some of Canada's oldest known aboriginal historic sites and villages.

However, when I consider the basic processes that operate in the climate system, when I consider that the magnitude of the changes of the radiative forcing due to these increased gases is getting to be of the same order of magnitude as the radiative changes associated with the triggering of the switches between glacial and interglacial periods, when I consider the speed at which those switches occur in the new geological records we get from ice cores and deep-sea sediment cores, and when I consider the whole mass of anomalous conditions which seem to have been appearing in the last one to two decades, I am convinced that climate change i ...[+++]n the near future is a real possibility.

I suggested recently in committee that the sun’s enormous influence on the earth’s climate over millions of years could not be ignored in this debate, and that the sequence of long ice ages, interspersed with short interglacial periods, was the most likely explanation.
