but this occurred under significantly different orbital forcing conditions» This is to make us believe that a global mean temperature could drive the melting or calving of the Greenland; but the Eemian diminution of the Greenland ice cap is by no means related to an average global temperature but to the local summer insolation that during the last interglacial was up to 30 W / m ² to 60 W / m ² stronger than today's.

There must have been brief periods of very rapid temperature change mixed in there (certainly on the regional level) in addition to slower - warming periods, and I'm under the impression other data (such as Greenland ice cores and deep - sea cores) support that scenario as well.
