Title: Projecting future changes to cave carbon dioxide levels

Description: Using the equations underpinning a mathematical model for estimating cave dioxide levels, scientists were able to make projections for future changes in response to climate change. Products from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which represented different scenarios for how climate change could affect soil temperature and land surface temperature, were used to investigate cave carbon dioxide levels up until 2100, showing that future climate changes could pose a risk to the cave paintings during this century.
