Rather, the ice core record shows clearly that changes in temperature precede changes in carbon dioxide throughout the glacial - interglacial cycle (Mudelsee, 2001), and that for the last half million years the climate system has oscillated in a self - limiting way between glacials and interglacials by about 6 deg.

The researchers did not notice an obvious relationship between the accumulation of ice recorded in the ice core and glacial fluctuation.

Tree rings, coral skeletons, and glacial ice cores (Figure 3) are proxies for annual temperature records, while boreholes (holes drilled deep into Earth's crust) can show temperature shifts over longer periods of time.

The ubiquitous character of certain events further confirms their importance: «the Younger Dryas and a large number of abrupt changes during the last ice age called Dansgaard / Oeschger events (23 abrupt changes into a climate of near - modern warmth and out again, during the last glacial period) have been corroborated in multiple ice cores from Greenland, Antarctica and tropical mountains, marine sediments from the North Atlantic Ocean, the tropical Atlantic, eastern Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and from various records on land.

Note that regional proxies, such as the oxygen - isotope temperature reconstructions from the Greenland Ice Core Project that record Dansgaard - Oeschger events, often indicate faster regional rates of climate change than the overall global average for glacial - interglacial transitions, just as today warming is more pronounced in Arctic regions than in equatorial regions (Barnosky et al., 2003; Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013).
