Late Miocene decoupling of oceanic warmth and atmospheric carbon dioxide forcing
Submitted by susan on Mon, 2012-06-11 17:57
Measurements from several ocean cores reveal that ocean warmth persisted throughout the late Miocene epoch despite CO2 levels of only 200–350 p.p.m.v., probably driven by a deep thermocline that isolated climate responses from CO2 variations.
