Ice rhythms: core reveals a plethora of climate cycles

Article Abstract:

A 3-kilometer-long ice core drilled by the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two has confirmed the existence of midrange climate variations that lasted a few thousand years each. The variations were too slow to have been noticed by human beings, but they were frequent enough to have affected human lives.

Even warm climates get the shivers

Article Abstract:

Members of the Greenland Ice-Core Project reported that the climate in Greenland has changed more dramatically and quickly during the two most recent interglacial periods than scientists had commonly believed. Some of the changes happened within a few years.

Millennial climate oscillation spied

Article Abstract:

Researchers have discovered a millennial-scale oscillation in earth's climate by studying climate records in sediments and glacial ice. Warming and cooling trends have alternated every several thousand years as far back as hundreds of millions of years.
