We don't really know the magnitude of that lag as well as Barton implies we do, because it is very challenging to put CO2 records from ice cores on the same timescale as temperature records from those same ice cores, due to the time delay in trapping the atmosphere as the snow is compressed into ice (the ice at any time will always be younger older than the gas bubbles it encloses, and the age difference is inherently uncertain).

One of the difficulties using charts based on in situ observations is that there was very little exploration poleward of the «marginal ice zone» (the area of partial sea ice cover near the ice edge), so in older reconstructions the ice concentration was often assumed to be 100 % beyond the marginal zone.
