A recent discovery made in Germany by researchers from the Dutch Leiden University and the German Johannes Gutenberg University that will change our perception of history and Neanderthals completely.

Warmer, interglacial periods are associated with the Northern Hemisphere summer seeing peak exposure to sunlight. The actual difference in energy terms is quite small, but feedbacks enhance the ...

The Last interglacial period was the last warm period before our present Holocene age and dates back some 129,000 to 116,000 years ago. It is more and more in the focus of research interest, as ...

But during warm interglacial periods the effect of a fresh surface ocean on the AMOC may be muted. In fact, climate models predict that heat transfer from the North Atlantic to the Arctic may ...

At the end of the interglacial 800,000 years ago, the low in sunlight was about the same as today, but CO 2 was at 240 parts per million—prior to the industrial revolution, ...

The long-term average temperature during the last interglacial period was something like 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the 19th-century benchmark. We are not yet living in the world of ...
