Why? Warmth? Eemian?

[sigurdur]

Ok, share with the board why the orbital parameters during the Eemian were very similar to the orbital parameters during the Holocene.

And looking at that fact, why was the Eemian so much hotter than the Holocene?

CO2 levels were lower during the Eemian, continental structure was very similar as it was only 120,000 years ago.

Share with us what changed to keep us so damn cold!

Where did the early heat of the Eemian originate? Enough to melt the Greenland Ice Sheet in a few years?

"The Eemian interglacial period that began some 125,000 years ago is often used as a model for contemporary climate change. In the international journal Geophysical Research Letters, scientists from Mainz, Kiel and Potsdam, Germany, now present evidence that the Eemian differed in essential details from modern climatic conditions."
