Tipping points: Early warning and wishful thinking
[1] The causes for and possible predictions of rapid climate changes are poorly understood. The most pronounced changes observed, beside the glacial terminations, are the Dansgaard‐Oeschger events. Present day general circulation climate models simulating glacial conditions are not capable of reprod...

[1] The causes for and possible predictions of rapid climate changes are poorly understood. The most pronounced changes observed, beside the glacial terminations, are the Dansgaard‐Oeschger events.

It is thus not known if they are due to bifurcations in the structural stability of the cli-mate or if they are induced by stochastic fluctuations.
