But the ice core - derived climate records from the Andes are also impacted from the west — specifically by El Niño, a temporary change in climate, which is driven by sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific.

In the past decade, paleoclimatologists have reconstructed a record of climate change over the last millennium by consulting historical documents and examining indicators of temperature change like tree rings, as well as oxygen isotopes in ice cores and coral skeletons.

That record of CO2 levels and temperature, called the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) core, was published in Nature in 2004.

The present ice ages are the most studied and best understood, particularly the last 400,000 years, since this is the period covered by ice cores that record atmospheric composition and proxies for temperature and ice volume.

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.

More recent studies, with much more precise correlation between ice cores and global temperature records, have shown that temperature and CO2 changed synchronously in Antarctica during the end of the last ice age, and globally CO2 rose slightly before global temperatures.

Sure, just as with the interaction between CO2 and temperature, as recorded in the ice core readings, the rise in temperature precedes the rise in CO2, wrongly suggesting that a rising temperature will produce a rise in CO2.

The rates in these two terrestrial records are comparable to those in Greenland ice cores, but the actual temperatures inferred apply to the terrestrial environments of the two regions.

Second, although the central Greenland ice - core records may provide the best paleoclimatic temperature records available, multiple parameters confirm the strong temperature signal, and multiple cores confirm the widespread nature of the signal, the data still contain a lot of noise over short times (snowdrifts are real, among other things).

In my briefings to the Association of Small Island States in Bali, the 41 Island Nations of the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean (and later circulated to all member states), I pointed out that IPCC had seriously and systematically UNDERESTIMATED the extent of climate change, showing that the sensitivity of temperature and sea level to CO2 clearly shown by the past climate record in coral reefs, ice cores, and deep sea sediments is orders of magnitude higher than IPCC's models.

CO2 in ice core records has followed not proceeded temperature changes, indication that it is a proxy of temperature not a cause of the change.

After scientists have done the hard work of working out these relations, it is possible to use one ice - core record to represent broader regions IF you restrict consideration to the parts that are widely coherent, so it is O.K. to plot a smoothed version of an Antarctic temperature record against CO2 over long times and discuss the relation as if it is global, but a lot of background is required.

Additionally, they take the ratio of temperature change to CO2 change in the ice core record and assume that is the climate sensitivity of climate to CO2 as opposed to the other way around.

You may now understand why global temperature, i.e. ocean heat content, shows such a strong correlation with atmospheric CO2 over the last 800,000 years — as shown in the ice core records.

Combined climate / ice sheet model estimates in which the Greenland surface temperature was as high during the Eemian as indicated by the NEEM ice core record suggest that loss of less than about 1 m sea level equivalent is very unlikely (e.g. Robinson et al. (2011).

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.

When I give talks about climate change, the question that comes up most frequently is this: «Doesn't the relationship between CO2 and temperature in the ice core record show that temperature drives CO2, not the other way round?»

Indeed, Claude Lorius, Jim Hansen and others essentially predicted this finding fully 17 years ago, in a landmark paper that addressed the cause of temperature change observed in Antarctic ice core records, well before the data showed that CO2 might lag temperature.

There is other evidence that can be used to calculate the temperatures and CO2 levels before the times recorded in the ice cores, and also during the times of the ice cores.

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).

Or again, in the ice core records, temperature is clearly driving the CO2 levels with a lag of about 800 years.

Suffice it to say that the GISP2 ice core recorded temperatures much higher for most of the past 4,000 years.

In the ice core records of the ice ages, it appears that CO2 levels may follow temperature increases, rather than vice versa.»

Allegedly, there's a correlation between CO2 and temperature in the ice core records.

Based on the GISP2 ice core proxy record from Greenland it has previously been pointed out that the present period of warming since 1850 to a high degree may be explained by a natural c. 1100 yr periodic temperature variation (Humlum et al., 2011).

It's also clear that there is a mismatch between the temperature reconstructions and the ice core record.

There is a misconception that ice core data tells the local temperature record.

«The hypothesis that the CO2 rise during the interglacials caused the temperature to rise requires an increase of about 6 °C per 30 % rise in CO2 as seen in the ice core record.

As we know dust both blocks sunlight (cooling the Earth) and fertilizing the oceanic biotica (sequestrating atmospheric CO2) I suggest that Dust causes the changes in the temperature and CO2 recorded in the ice cores.

To answer the question of the Medieval Warm Period, more than 1,000 tree - ring, ice core, coral, sediment and other assorted proxy records spanning both hemispheres were used to construct a global map of temperature change over the past 1,500 years (Mann 2009).

The «hockey stick» describes a reconstruction of past temperature over the past 1000 to 2000 years using tree - rings, ice cores, coral and other records that act as proxies for temperature (Mann 1999).

The amplitudes of the pre-industrial, decadal - scale NH temperature changes from the proxy - based reconstructions (< 1 °C) are broadly consistent with the ice core CO2 record and understanding of the strength of the carbon cycle - climate feedback.

I agree to a large extent with these points, with some nuance: Based on physics, there must be a small influence of CO2 levels on temperature, but until now, that is not measurable in the data records (neither in detailed ice core records).

And according to scientists who have 800,000 years of carbon records derived from glacial ice core samples, there is a strong link between earth temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

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 true believer in AGW can look at the ice core record and see, for example: 800 years with temperatures rising while CO2 is low and falling; 4000 years with both CO2 and temperature rising; then 400 years with temperatures falling while CO2 is high and rising, and say that we do not know what caused the first and last of those periods, but over the majority of the period (4000 out of 5200 years) the two were in step.

The ice cores can provide an annual record of temperature, precipitation, atmospheric composition, volcanic activity, and wind patterns.

When sceptics look at statistical data, whether it is recent ice melt, deep sea temperatures, current trend in global surface temperatures, troposphere temperatures, ice core records etc. they look at the data as it is without any pre-conceptions and describe what it says.

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).

On this basis we can estimate the 2xCO2 climate sensitivity, based on IPCC's ice core estimated of pre-industrial CO2 levels and current Mauna Loa CO2 measurements plus the 161 - year HadCRUT surface temperature record.
