Greenland temperature trend after the Last Glacial Maximum, derived from the Greenland ice cores. It shows local warming of the Late Glacial Interstadial, ( ), followed by very low temperatures for the most part of the Younger Dryas, rapidly rising afterwards to reach the level of the globally warm Holocene.
