Data from Vostok suggest an important role of the Southern Ocean in regulating the glacial-interglacial CO 2 changes (5). This role is confirmed by measurements from Taylor Dome for shorter time intervals in the last glaciation (16). The CO 2 increase in interval I, which occurred before any substantial warming in the Northern Hemisphere, is consistent with the present view of the role of the Southern Hemisphere for causing the CO 2 increase. Methane starts to increase parallel to CO 2 in interval I. The methane increase is in agreement with the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) record (28). The parallelism
