Palaeoclimatic data provide evidence
for changes in many regional climates.
Figure 1: Northern Hemisphere temperatures were reconstructed
for the past 1000 years (up to 1999) using
palaeoclimatic records (tree rings, corals, ice cores, lake sediments, etc.), along with historical and long instrumental records (WMO 2000).
Secondly, we have lots of
palaeoclimatic evidence
for abrupt changes in the AMOC, which are leading candidates to explain Dansgaard - Oeschger transitions during the last ice age, and the cold snap 8,200 years ago.
Abstract «Although we conclude, as found elsewhere, that recent warming has been substantial relative to natural fluctuations of the past millennium, we also note that owing to the spatially heterogeneous nature of the MWP, and its different timing within different regions, present
palaeoclimatic methodologies will likely «'' flatten out» estimates
for this period relative to twentieth century warming, which expresses a more homogenous global «'' fingerprint.»
Palaeoclimatic and archaeological evidence
for a 200 - yr recurrence of floods and droughts linking California, Mesoamerica and South America over the past 2000 years (The Holocene, Volume 13, Number 5, pp. 763 - 778, 2003)-- Amdt Schimmelmann et al..
Here we briefly discuss the radiative forcing estimates used
for understanding climate during the last millennium, the mid-Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)(Section 9.3) and in estimates of climate sensitivity based on
palaeoclimatic records (Section 9.6.3).
Even a 3.0 Â °C sensitivity, which is supported by
palaeoclimatic evidence, and is the current «best - estimate», delivers us a hefty enough whack of change if we revel in the AAPG's product
for the next few decades.
Ruddiman and McIntyre (1981), p. 204, dismissed this since they saw no decrease in North Atlantic biological productivity, but some later data supported the idea; in 1985 Broecker suspected the meltwater pulse was the entire cause of the Younger Dryas, but later he suggested it was only the trigger that set the timing
for a switch between thermohaline circulation modes, Broecker et al. (1989)(whose «synthesis of
palaeoclimatic observations invigorated the community over the next decade,» according to Le Treut et al. (2007), p. 106); Broecker et al. (1990).
There are very few
palaeoclimatic records
for these latter two regions.»
