TL;DR: It is found that Greenland glaciation is mainly controlled by a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide during the Late Pliocene, and model results suggest that climatic shifts associated with the tectonically driven closure of the Panama seaway, with the termination of a permanent El Niño state or with tectonic uplift are not large enough to contribute significantly to the growth of the Greenland ice sheet.

TL;DR: By comparing with observational datasets, it is shown that these models produce a good representation of many aspects of the climate system, including the land and sea surface temperatures, precipitation, ocean circulation, and vegetation, which motivates continued development and scientific use of the HadCM3B family of coupled climate models.

TL;DR: Overall, the models simulate little global annual surface temperature change, while the proxy reconstructions suggest a global annual warming at LIG (as compared to the PI Holocene) of approximately 1°C, though with possible spatial sampling biases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide the first compilation of high-latitude temperature changes across the LIG associated with a coherent temporal framework built between ice core and marine sediment records.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of climate model simulations of the early last interglaciation (130 to 125 ka), encompassing a range of model complexities, are compared to a recently published compilation of last global temperature estimates.
