Oxygen isotope proxy errors corrected in Greenland ice cores

When modern climatologists want temperature data farther back in time than the first globally-distributed temperature measurements, they have to use a proxy that, when calibrated properly, indirectly measures temperature.

A new study in the journal Nature corrects a previously uncorrected error in the Greenland ice sheet temperature proxy and, at the same time, determines that the Greenland ice sheet responds to temperature increases more than previously believed.
