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).
