    Abstract

    The last four interglacials (intervals during which global ice volume was similar to, or less than, that of our current warm stage) correspond to the warmest parts of the marine oxygen isotope stages MIS 5, 7, 9, 11. These interglacials ffollowed the 100-kyr rhythm of eccentricity, but each had different insolation regimes, different durations, different ice volumes and different sea-level heights, bur atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations were similar and reached values which, by and large, were close to those of the current interglacial (Holocene or MIS1) before the industrial revolution led to the artificial enrichment of the atmosphere's greenhouse gas concentrations via the burning of fossil fuels ...
