Fortunately, because with constant absolute water vapour, relative humidity would be some 5 × 7 % = 35 % higher than today, and the last glacial maximum would be (counter to what we think we know) a foggy, soggy place...

If C02 is the largest single contributing factor to the Greenhouse Effect (because supposedly water vapor is only involved as a feedback to primary chemistry involving C02 itself), and C02 lags temperature increases (as has been stated on this very blog), how has the Earth ever returned to colder glacial conditions following periods of warming?

Because a large share of the runoff in the glacial water systems comes from melting, most of this runoff, up to 80 %, takes place in the summer.

I realize that tidal gauge measurements for assessing sea level rise has met with some skepticism because of multiple measurement issues including tides, ground water pumping and subsidence, tectonic plate movement, glacial rebound, etc..

A challenge for climate sleuths has been to find a place holding a series of corals dating back into and beyond the last ice age, when sea levels were more than 300 feet lower than they are now because so much water was locked up in glacial ice.

It is possible that the days of rain was added as an embellishment to explain the rising of the water because the locals would have had no knowledge of North American glacial lakes bursting through ice dams.

Weyl (1968), speculating that the «temporary stagnation» of the bottom water would end because of warming by the interior heat of the Earth; the role of glacial meltwater suppressing North Atlantic Deep Water production was also pioneered by Worthington (1968); a neat explanation of the entire circulation in terms of water evaporating from the North Atlantic more than from the cooler North Pacific was indicated by Warren (1water would end because of warming by the interior heat of the Earth; the role of glacial meltwater suppressing North Atlantic Deep Water production was also pioneered by Worthington (1968); a neat explanation of the entire circulation in terms of water evaporating from the North Atlantic more than from the cooler North Pacific was indicated by Warren (1Water production was also pioneered by Worthington (1968); a neat explanation of the entire circulation in terms of water evaporating from the North Atlantic more than from the cooler North Pacific was indicated by Warren (1water evaporating from the North Atlantic more than from the cooler North Pacific was indicated by Warren (1983).

Scientists have long suspected that large discharges of glacial water into the ocean could drive climate fluctuations, but linking discharge events like the Hudson flood with individual climate changes has been difficult because of the challenges in pinpointing the location, timing, and amount of the discharges.
