The Greenland O 18 curve: time scale and ice accumulation

Summary None of the time scales hitherto applied to the Greenland O 18 curve is considered reliable. The logarithmic time scales were based on the false assumption of constant glacial dynamics. The latest time scale, based on a supposed constant 2400- years cycle, seems to be based on another false...
