interesting, perhaps that explains the rather long lasting warm period for the last 12,000 years. most of the hot peaks from the Vostok ice core data were rather short lived...
Actually, today’s warming is not only a bit “slower” (flatter-topped) curve than the previous very sharp rise and fall from the highest temperatures.
Today’s “peak” (if it IS the maximum temperature) is also not as high as previous peak temperatures: Today’s temperatures are 1/2 of 1 degree “above 0 deg C”, and the past peak temperatures average +2.5 degrees above today’s temperatures.
So we’ve got some more heating up to do: even if the peak is close.
