It is a bit of an educated guess because we can’t know the global average, but most of the local temps that are estimated moved in the same direction. The ones in Greenland were larger than most though.

- akvadrako 8y agoSure, the text of this reference at least agrees with my claim of a general trend: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/abrupt-climate-change/The%20Younger%20Dryas https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/abrupt-climate-change/The%20Younge...
- ben_w 8y agoThanks. I can’t follow the link from there to (Brauer et al. 2008) as that link is paywalled. The Greenland graph is essentially vertical, but the Cariaco graph looks like it’s relatively spread out as well as being much smaller magnitude — though even then, the delta is double the current estimated maximum sustainable excess over pre-industrial temperatures.
