«Although this paper will likely become a classic compilation of our view in 2017, the 79 ice cores analyzed are spatially restricted,» he told Earther, noting that West Antarctic cores are biased toward the highest ground, and that East Antarctic record is biased because of a cluster of cores in Dronning Maud Land, a vast chunk of ice annexed by Norway in 1939.

It is important to remind everyone that i) we expect CO2 to lag behind temperature in ice core records, because of feedbacks, and ii) that the Antarctic cores are not a global temperature record.

Now I know this is a stupid argument anyway («a 30 % increase in human CO2 and a corresponding rise in temperature are not linked, because we don't know that it can't happen naturally») but I was wondering if he was at least right about the ice core data.

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).

Re # 33 (Dave D.): Ice core measurement issues aside, remember that there has to be some degree of lag because a) the initial warming is from Milankovitch changes, not CO2, and 2) the delayed turnover of ocean water means that not all the CO2 will outgas in a short period of time.

But in both arctic and antarctic ice cores, we see similar bands, because the snow in Greenland all comes from the stratosphere, not the Arctic Ocean.

Because of disturbed ice stratigraphy8, this part of the core does not reflect a climatic signal.

But it is a proxy, because the idea that that it is not a proxy rests on the tenuous and unproven assumption that the chemical composition of the ice - core data does not undergo any fractionation processes before closing and after closing that affect the chemical composition of the bubbles thereby perfectly preserving the atmospheric concentration of CO2.

Where cracks were found the minima were kept, because these were in line with the median of previous and following samples at depth of the ice core.

In fact, Jaworowski must have read the literature after 1992 because he recently published a paper in 2007 called «CO2: The Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Time» where he cites 24 papers that have been published after 1992 (23 of those published after 1996) and many of the papers he cites pertain to proxy - data, predominately ice - core.
