A new global reconstruction of temperature changes at the Last Glacial Maximum

JD Annan, JC Hargreaves - Climate of the Past, 2013 - cp.copernicus.org
Some recent compilations of proxy data both on land and ocean (MARGO Project Members,

Water vapor and lapse rate feedbacks in the climate system

R Colman, BJ Soden - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that dominates Earth's terrestrial radiation absorption. As
the planetary temperature warms, forced by increasing CO 2 and other greenhouse gases …

Enhanced Arctic warming amplification revealed in a low-emission scenario

J Ono, M Watanabe, Y Komuro, H Tatebe… - Communications Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
The Arctic region has warmed faster than the global mean in past decades. Future climate
