Last Interglacial (LIG), stable water isotope values (δ¹⁸O) measured in Greenland deep ice cores are at least 2.5‰ higher compared to the present day. Previous isotopic climate simulations of the LIG do not capture the observed Greenland δ¹⁸O increases. Here, we use the isotope-enabled HadCM3 (UK Me...
