27、nt with the actual situation.Using that reconstruction of the ice sheet over time, the team could compare the ice sheets historic losses to those happening today under human-caused global warming.

By doing a simulation of the whole ice sheet.C. By studying the ancient rocks and dirt.D. By forecasting the future climate change.14. Wh
