TL;DR: The most detailed proxy record of interglacial climate is found in the Vostok ice core where the temperature reached current levels 132,000 yr ago and continued rising for another two millennia as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of Pliocene marine microfossils from 64 globally distributed stratigraphic sequences has been used to produce a middle PlIocene sea surface temperature reconstruction of Earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative interpretation of the Tertiary δ 18 O record of plaiiktic and benthic foraminifers has been proposed, which compares TTE data to average late Pleistocene, assuming constant tropical sea-surface temperature, and thereby estimates global ice volume.

TL;DR: A quantitative micropaleontological paleotemperature transect from equator to high latitudes in the North Atlantic indicates that Middle Pliocene warmth involved increased meridional oceanic heat transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an integrated synoptic Pliocene paleoclimate reconstruction of the last significantly warmer than present interval in Earth history, which includes middle-pliocene sea level, vegetation, land ice distribution, sea-ice distribution, and sea surface temperature.
