Comment on “A 12-million-year temperature history of the tropical Pacific Ocean”
Zhang et al.(Reports, 4 April 2014, p. 84) interpret TEX86 and U 37 K'paleotemperature data
as providing a fundamentally new view of tropical Pacific climate during the warm Pliocene
period. We argue that, within error, their Pliocene data actually support previously published
data indicating average western warm-pool temperature similar to today and a reduced
zonal gradient, referred to as a permanent El Niño–like state.
