Millennial-Scale Climate Oscillations
qMillennial-scale climate oscillations are
referred to climate variations with time scales as short as 1,000 years.
qThese climate
variations are rapid enough to be relevant to human
concern.
qThese changes
were large when glacial ice sheets extended, but smaller during interglacial
climate like today.
