Antarctic ice cores have no to little problems from (sea salt) dust, Greenland ice cores are unreliable for CO2 due to frequent acidic dust from Icelandic volcanoes which react in situ (and during abandoned wet measurement methods) with carbonates from sea salts.

Internal variability doesn't imply an absence of radiative forcing but includes albedo changes from clouds, dust, snow and ice, vegetation and volcanoes.
