The causes of the ∼80 ppmv increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) during the last glacial-interglacial climatic transition remain debated. We analyzed the parallel evolution of CO 2 and its stable carbon isotopic ratio (δ 13 CO 2 ) in the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA)...
