Not exact matches

GISP2 ice core temperatures show that the arctic was 2 degrees C warmer 6000 years ago, 2000 years ago and approximately the same temperature 1000 years ago (with the Vikings).

Carbon dioxide measurements on Dome C ice, focusing on the interval 390 to 650 kyr before present, bp (2,700 — 3,060 m) 4, confirmed the strong coupling between CO2 and Antarctic temperature found1 in the Vostok ice core for the past 420 kyr.

The ice cores show that during the last million years, whenever the temperature rose 10 C the CO2 rose from 180 ppmv to 280 ppmv, a rise of 100 ppmv.

C) However, since the ice core record shows many instances where temperatures reverse and drop while CO2 is still increasing and vice versa, it is evident that there are other (largely unknown) climate drivers that routinely overwhelm whatever effect CO2 has on temperatures (positive feedback included).

Further, there is firm evidence that migration of CO2 isn't important in the Vostok and Dome C ice cores over the past 800,000 years: each glacial / interglacial period shows the same ratio between temperature and CO2 changes: about 8 ppmv/degr.C.

Global solar irradiance reconstruction [48 — 50] and ice - core based sulfate (SO4) influx in the Northern Hemisphere [51] from volcanic activity (a); mean annual temperature (MAT) reconstructions for the Northern Hemisphere [52], North America [29], and the American Southwest * expressed as anomalies based on 1961 — 1990 temperature averages (b); changes in ENSO - related variability based on El Junco diatom record [41], oxygen isotopes records from Palmyra [42], and the unified ENSO proxy [UEP; 23](c); changes in PDSI variability for the American Southwest (d), and changes in winter precipitation variability as simulated by CESM model ensembles 2 to 5 [43].

The Antarctic Ice Core temperature (above) only shows a 2.0 C decline during the Younger Dryas but Greenland's (above) are 15.0 C. Greenland did experience more of a decline than Antarctica in this event but nowhere near these numbers.

A few additions: — While coastal ice cores reflect the temperatures of the nearby Southern Ocean (via dD and d18O proxies), the deep inland, high altitude, ice cores of Vostok and Epica Dome C reflect the ocean temperatures for near the whole SH.

By comparing the atmospheric CO2 increase (note that since CO2 is well - mixed in the atmosphere, a single ice core record can be used as an accurate representation for CO2 - Shakun et al. used the Antarctic EPICA Dome C ice core for CO2 data) to these many different temperature records, Shakun et al. are able to discern whether the CO2 increase led or lagged temperature changes in various different geographic locations, and for the planet as a whole.

Anyway, if the problem was huge, then the oldest ice cores should show a lower CO2 / temperature ratio, which is not the case for either Vostok (420 kyr) or Dome C (800 kyr).

Temperature is based on measurements of the isotopic content of water in the Dome C ice core.

Table 1 summarizes mean variation rates of temperature, sea level and GHG concentrations during (A) the last termination (19 — 10 kyr), (B) the Holocene (10 kyr to mid-19th century), (C) mid-19th century to mid-1970s, and (D) mid-1970s to 2005, based on ice core studies [2], IPCC - 2001 and IPCC - 2007 [3], NASA - GISS [4], CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research [5], UK Meteorological Office [6] datasets and science journals.

Ice core temperature reconstructions such as Dome C are based on the isotopic composition of the iIce core temperature reconstructions such as Dome C are based on the isotopic composition of the iceice.

The GISP2 Greenland ice core shows that temperatures in Greenland from 10,000 years ago to 1500 years ago were virtually all 1 to 2.5 degrees C warmer than present with «normal» CO2 levels.

You really should consider what went into this — 2 ice core delta 18O records of dubious relationship to temperature (one is cited as correlating with NW China temperatures at r = 0.2 - 0.4), 3 tree ring series, one of which is a delta C - 13 record of questionable climatic significance (to be generous).
