During the last glacial termination atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2atm) rose about 100 ppm and atmospheric radiocarbon activity (Δ14C) concurrently dropped by about ca. 400 ‰. Global warming likely triggered large-scale thawing of permafrost soils in the northern hemisphere resulting in release of 1...
