New paper shows prior interglacials over past 600,000 years similar to the present interglacial – Published in Quaternary Science Reviews
Study reconstructs temperatures and CO2 levels using a pollen proxy in Turkey over the past 600,000 years and shows remarkable agreement with the Arctic ice core data, with prior interglacials as warm or warmer than the present interglacial, similar vegetation, and prior interglacials with CO2 levels at or above those of the pre-industrial period.
