Asynchrony between Antarctic temperature and CO2 associated with obliquity over the past 720,000 years

The Antarctic temperature record displays a puzzling asynchrony with changes in CO2 through glacial cycles. Here, the authors show that a 720,000-year Antarctic temperature record is affected by variations in obliquity-induced local insolation that are associated with phase modulation of eccentricit...
