Ice Ages were modulated by ice-sheet albedo, not by CO2.
CO2 is not the primary control knob - as I have demonstrated in my peer-review paper. In reality, the feedback agent modulating ice ages was actually ice-sheet dust-albedo. See: Modulation of Ice Ages via Dust and Albedo.
The first problem with ice ages is:
When CO2 concentrations were high the world cooled, and when CO2 was low the world warmed. This counter-intuitive temperature response strongly suggests that CO2 is not the primary feedback agent.
The second problem with ice ages is:
Ice ages are forced by increased Milankovitch insolation in the Northern Hemisphere (NH), but never by increased insolation in the Southern Hemisphere. If CO2 were the primary feedback agent interglacials could and would be forced by increased insolation in either hemisphere, but they are not. The fact that interglacials are only ever NH events, strongly suggests that surface albedo is the primary feedback agent (the great landmasses being in the NH), rather than CO2.
The third problem with ice ages is:
During an ice age, many NH Milankovitch maxima produce little or temperature response. Again, this would be unlikely if CO2 was the primary feedback agent, but it is to be expected if surface albedo was the primary feedback. High albedo ice sheets covered in fresh snow can and will reject the increased insolation from a NH Milankovitch maximum, resulting in little or no temperature response.
Unless, of course, the ice sheets are somehow covered in dust, thus reducing their albedo. Fortuitously, the northern ice sheets do indeed get covered in dust just before each and every interglacial. This is the topic of my ice age modulation paper - the counter-intuitive method of dust production, and its function as the primary feedback agent controlling interglacial warming.
The fourth problem with ice ages is:
The CO2 is a very weak feedback agent indeed. During an interglacial warming era, the CO2 feedback requires warming from decade to decade, to feedback-force temperatures into the next (warmer) decade. Unfortunately the CO2 feedback is only 0.007 W/m2 per decade, which is less energy than a bee requires to fly.
Conversely, reduced albedo ice sheets can absorb an extra 200 W/m2 every single annual year, when measured regionally. Clearly the albedo feedback is far stronger than the proposed CO2 feedback, and could indeed dissipate the vast northern ice sheets in about 6,000 years.
All of the above points strongly suggest that ice sheet albedo is the primary feedback agent modulating interglacials, rather than CO2. …. Increased dust is caused by low CO2 concentrations, because CO2 is plant-food, and the most essential gas in the atmosphere. Thus low CO2 concentrations cause the death of all C3 vegetation at high altitude, causing CO2 deserts to form across the Gobi plateau. Dust from these CO2 deserts formed the huge dust deposits of the Loess Plateau, and also covered the northern ice sheets in dust - which lowered the albedo of the ice sheets and precipitated melting.

I nominate this documentary for an Academy Award.
This is leading edge climate change research. Unfortunately few people understand the signing of the findings. Which reinforce the "theory".
8:08. Minky whale goulash, pieces of blubber and coarsely cut meat on the menu. 'Uh, where'd we stash those energy bars'.
9:15. Spectacular aurora borealis.
16:50. Doesn't anyone have a satellite phone?
25:04 Igor spends Christmas cutting up a reindeer in his bathtub ... As a city dweller he's a funeral director and a tourist guide. No fiction author would dare make up a character like that.

Hats off to the writers of this documentary. Narration had the biggest impact and made it complete.

Your 100 percent right michal

@Kobeh Bamia Na, its just the usual propaganda bs lies, nothing unusual

I stayed up very late to finish these 2-part documentaries... The ways it presented and dissected the situation and potential problems in the Arctic were excellent. Would love to see more of these materials of extreme significance. Thank you so much to the production team and field crew.

It was a very nice, brilliant, and informative documentary. It deserves a nominated Oscar Award.

oscar or emmy?
robert hicks
yea, they should give it the award for best fiction in a non science propaganda piece of the decade.

@robert hicks and your point is?

Such an incredible landscape. Kudos to the locals who have learned to survive in it.
