In fact, that's pretty much
what ice core data is.
I thought I might follow up the comments on that thread by looking at
what the ice core records actually tell us about variations in CO2.
There have been a variety of discussions in the past week about
what ice core data tells us.
Since ice cores are a measure of the water in the ice,
what the ice core is actually measuring are the conditions of the oceans that the water originally evaporated from.
This is in fact
what the ice core records show — warming precedes CO2 rise by hundreds of years, repeatedly.
That is, the opposite sequence of events to
what the ice core records indicate for interglacial periods of the past 650k years.
I am not sure
what the ice core records are related the time response of CO2 to the cooling trends.
But
what the ice cores show is that when the Earth begins to warm for other reasons, more CO2 is released from the ocean, and rising CO2 levels then drive the increase in temperature, causing over 90 percent of the total warming.
What the ice cores really provide though is a natural ceiling for the total «natural» level of CO2 in the atmosphere.
And in Copenhagen, we learn
what ice cores have told us about abrupt jumps in past climates.
We are now about 100 ppmv above
what the ice cores say as the «normal» CO2 level for the current temperature.
Not exact matches
I could go on, but the fact of the matter is, if you use just the bible to map out a timeline it's a little wonky but doable because for over 2000 years its had revisions and edits so that it would make more sense, if you want to really look the history of the world through geology,
ice core samples and
what not, it'll paint a very different picture.

what happened in the Southern Hemisphere many thousands of years ago.
The question now, experts said, is
what the discovery of the bottoms - up
ice formation means for efforts to understand
ice sheet behavior and to investigate past climate by extracting
ice cores.
Understanding how that would affect the climate will require going beyond historical records of climate change, or even the information encoded in tree rings or
ice cores, to
what scientists call «deep time» records of conditions on Earth, according to a new NAS analysis.
Since then scientists have been studying samples of the bottom
core for clues to
what might lie beneath the

These bubbles tell scientists
what gases were in the atmosphere, and based on the bubble's location in the
ice core,
what the climate was at the time it was sealed.
With
Ice Cream Sandwich one of the things that we did in order to enable more consistency and more ease of developer portability, was it was required that from
Ice Cream Sandwich onwards, the
core widgets and framework themes were always included, so that developers can target them and have their application look, feel, and work more consistently no matter
what skin has been put on it.
So far Fujitsu has been a little shy on the details, however
what we can tell you is that it will feature Android 4.0
Ice Cream Sandwich and a Tegra 3 quad -
core processor from Nvidia.
What we're doing here is showing how these two prime examples of nicest and newest tablet hardware on the market for each of these two beasts» operating systems, with the iPad running iOS and the Transformer running Android 4.0
Ice Cream Sandwich - these tied directly to the power of the units» processors: the A5X from Apple and NVIDIA's Tegra 3 quad -
core processor with 4 - PLUS - 1 technology.
For another, much as I respect the National Academy, and the various members of the panel that did that assessment, it was in the end their informed opinion being expressed, and there are actually quite a few factual errors in that report (indeed, Steve McIntyre and I had a rare moment of agreement on this, regarding
what they said about
ice core records in Antarctica).
What the medical «experts» have missed is the fact that someone receiving a diagnosis of cancer will tend to smoke even more in an effort to calm himself down, setting up a feedback similar to what we see in the ice core d
What the medical «experts» have missed is the fact that someone receiving a diagnosis of cancer will tend to smoke even more in an effort to calm himself down, setting up a feedback similar to
what we see in the ice core d
what we see in the
ice core data.
As for
what I wish for... I'm a skier, and the
ice core research I do requires very cold conditions, so I am hoping against hope for some cooler weather.
The interactions (feedbacks) between THC shifts and sea
ice and glacial calving (as indicated by
ice - rafted debris in deep sea
core records) would tend to seriously magnify the climate changes compared to
what would be expected from a similar THC shift today.
Further to 13 (although I'm not so sure that George's message is a response to mine), a mode of explanation seen at
What does the lag of CO2 behind temperature in
ice cores tell us about global warming?
I would also add that the «prediction» made by # 11 about
what a D - O event would look like is based on the Greenland
ice core records, and the picture of «abrupt warming / slow cooling» picture comes from the data on millennial timescales.
Unlike the I.P.C.C. or any such pro AGW group, the

what they are... let's have a look shall we?
You say «
ice core and other evidence»;
what other evidence?
Indeed it was Law Dome, not the Taylor Dome... I had written that from memory, but as my memory is not anymore

What I meant was a graph on the Internet, showing the Law Dome
ice core CO2 variations, lagging the temperature variations with some 50 years (with ~ 10 ppmv / K, similar to the factor found over the Vostok
ice core trends).
So
what is the time difference between CO2 levels during the onset of a cooling period at the end of a warming period and the time history of the temperature changes in the
ice cores?
I read your article «
What does the lag of CO2 behind temperature in

My colleagues and I were using
what we call proxy records, like corals and tree rings, and
ice cores to try and extend the climate record back in time so that we could learn more about natural climate variability.
(Christner et al. 2008) For me the
ice core CO2 levels could be recognized as
what bacteria and diffusion had left back.
Among other things, we know about diffusion, the gaussian filter effect that takes out short term variability that might explain the smooth
ice core data, etc., but when taking readings from the air samples in
ice,
what is the mechanism for accounting for the CO2 contained in the
ice itself?
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.
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.
