TL;DR: A record of global surface temperature from 80 proxy records is constructed and it is shown that temperature is correlated with and generally lags CO2 during the last deglaciation, supporting the conclusion that an antiphased hemispheric temperature response to ocean circulation changes superimposed on globally in-phase warming driven by increasing CO2 concentrations is an explanation for much of the temperature change at the end of the most recent ice age.

TL;DR: The UVic Earth System Climate Model as discussed by the authors consists of a three-dimensional ocean general circulation model coupled to a thermodynamic/dynamic sea ice model, an energy-moisture balance atmospheric model with dynamical feedbacks, and a thermomechanical land-ice model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model is used to show that the Atlantic thermohaline circulation is not only sensitive to the final atmospheric CO2 concentration attained, but also depends on the rate of change in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of global climate, ocean circulation, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycling, including a fully coupled carbon cycle, is presented and evaluated, which is consistent with multiple observational data sets from the past 50 years as well as with the observed warming of global surface air and sea temperatures during the last 150 years.

TL;DR: A low-order physical-biogeochemical climate model was used to project atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming for scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and found that the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation weakens in all global warming simulations and collapses at high levels of carbon dioxide.
