Note that regional proxies, such as the
oxygen -
isotope temperature reconstructions from the Greenland Ice Core Project that
record Dansgaard - Oeschger events, often
indicate faster regional rates of climate change than the overall global average for glacial - interglacial transitions, just as today warming is more pronounced in Arctic regions than in equatorial regions (Barnosky et al., 2003; Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013).
