Guest Post By: Renee Hannon IntroductionThis post examines whether CO2 measurements in Greenland ice cores demonstrate natural variability as an alternative hypothesis to in-situ chemical reactions. Twenty years ago, scientists theorized Greenland ice core CO2 data were unreliable because CO2 trapped in air bubbles had potentially been altered by in-situ chemical reactions. This theory wasContinue reading “Greenland Ice CO2 – Chemical Reactions or Natural Variability?”

Comparing the Kobashi and Alley Central Greenland Temperature Reconstructions
By Andy May In 2000, Richard Alley released an ice core temperature reconstruction for Central Greenland using Oxygen isotope ratios. He describes the technique used here. I used this ice core proxy data in a previous post “Climate and Civilization for the past 4,000 years.” Since Alley’s data stops at 1855, I spliced the GreenlandContinue reading “Comparing the Kobashi and Alley Central Greenland Temperature Reconstructions”
