I guess you are right that even if we could identify a rapid sea level rise event in the paleo record we could no just assume it's due to albedo flip. But I was thinking that we might know more about the rate of the last big thaw, the whole thaw, not just that one event that may have been caused by a meteor or ice damn break. > > -W. > > > > > > > I wonder if there is evidence about albedo flip one way or the other > > from the last ice age? > > >> -W > > >>>> -W. > > >>>> William M Connolley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>>> |http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/met/wmc/ > >>>> Climate Modeller, British Antarctic Survey | 07985 935400 > > >>>> -- > >>>> This message (and any attachments) is for the recipient only.
