Palaeoclimate puzzle explained by seasonal variation – Nature.com
A method that corrects for seasonal bias in climate proxies.
Understanding past climate change is crucial for putting modern global warming in context. Reconstructions of climate during the Holocene the current interglacial epoch, which began 11,700 years ago based on geological evidence suggest that a peak in global mean annual temperatures between 10,000 and 6,000 years ago was followed by a cooling trend, which then reversed in the post-industrial era1,2. However, computational simulations of Holocene climate reveal only a long-term warming trend3. Writing…
