Atmospheric Sciences

The left panel illustrates sea surface temperature variations between the most recent ice age, approximately 21,000 years ago, and modern preindustrial temperatures. This refined analysis highlights significant cooling over the northern oceans, attributed to the presence of the North American ice sheet, which significantly contributed to the overall global cooling trend. In contrast, the right panel depicts anticipated changes in ocean surface temperatures under a scenario of doubled atmospheric CO2 concentrations in the future. This projection reveals a distinct pattern of temperature change, suggesting lower globally averaged warming than previously anticipated in worst-case scenarios.
