Climate change: Southern see-saw seen
Jeffrey P. Severinghaus1
Abstract
The bipolar see-saw hypothesis provides an explanation for why temperature shifts in the two hemispheres were out of phase at certain times. The hypothesis has now passed a test of one of its predictions.
Abrupt climate changes during the last glacial period, about 110,000 to 10,000 years ago, have been widely documented in the Northern Hemisphere. But their underlying cause remains enigmatic.
