Last Interglacial (LIG), stable water isotope values (δ 18 O) 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 δ 18 O increases. Here, we use the isotope-enabled HadCM3 (U...
