Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

Palaeoclimate constraints on the impact of 2 C anthropogenic warming and beyond
Over the past 3.5 million years, there have been several intervals when climate conditions
were warmer than during the pre-industrial Holocene. Although past intervals of warming …
