Greenland
ice core data suggest that the Greenland ice sheet response to Eemian warmth was limited [91], but the fifth IPCC assessment [14] concludes that Greenland very likely contributed between 1.4 and 4.3 m to the higher sea level of the Eemian.
Ice core data suggest that the Greenland Summit region was ice - covered during this period, but reductions in the ice sheet extent are indicated in parts of southern Greenland.
Which is not surprising, given that
the ice core data suggest that this feedback only sets in with a delay of hundreds of years after the warming starts.
The ice core data suggest that Svalbard's climate was about as mild in the 1300s as it is today.

Ambrose also cites Greenland
ice core data that
suggest sulfur stuck around in the atmosphere longer than just a few years and that Earth had already entered a cold snap.
Data on greenhouse gas abundances going back beyond a million years, that is, beyond the reach of antarctic
ice cores, are still rather uncertain, but analysis of geological samples
suggests that the warm
ice - free periods coincide with high atmospheric CO2 levels.
fhhaynie For the empirical
ice core and proxy temperature
data on which the 1000 year cycle is based see Figs 6 and 7 in the latest post at http://climatesense-norpag.blogspot.com Interestingly Fig 6 also
suggests that if you believe (which I obviously don't) that CO2 is the main climate driver - its long term effect is to cool the earth.
* An exponential fit hindcasts absurdly, namely to zero when the
ice core data from Vostok etc. would
suggest 280 - 290 as a more reasonable hindcasting target.
This is only
suggested by
ice -
core paleoclimate
data which is ultimately uncheckable by direct empirical observation.
The correlation between Greenland
ice core data and solar flux, is also seen in Scandinavian tree ring
data.15 Tree rings
suggest the warmest decade in the past 2000 years, happened during the warm spike of the Roman Warm Period between 27 and 56 AD.
Very few (1 - 2 points) of
ice core C13
data (Francey tellus, 99)
suggest that this drawdown was caused by additional terrestrial carbon storage (Joos et al, GRL, 99; Trudinger, Tellus, 99).
Data from
ice core records strongly
suggest that the prehistoric carbon dioxide changes were largely a response, not a cause, of temperature changes.
Ice cores from there in 1966, and others from the Dye 3 site in southern Greenland in 1981,
suggested some abrupt changes but various objections were raised to parts of the
data.
I spent a week listening to 80 paleoclimatoligists and climate modelers argue about the interpretation of the
data from
ice and sediment
cores, how it eliminated some proposed explanations for what was driving the changes in temperature and rainfall, and how it
suggested other possible explanations.
I don't mean to step on Michael Tobis» toes, but the level of CO2 has always so far as the various
ice core and like
data strongly
suggest (above 99.5 % with consilience) been seasonally variable over land due to interaction of plants and temperature as proven by NH / SH trends, just as it is diurnally variable due to photosynthesis.
Hi John, Although proposed at 1470 years based on a single
ice -
core, GISP2, more recent
data suggests it is closer to 1500 than 1470 years.
(The doubter's
suggested that the
ice core data was flawed.)
