AbstractThe increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), starting ~ 6000 years ago, is unique among prior warm periods, in which greenhouse gases decreased following a decrease in solar forcing. To date, the cause for the increase in atmospheric CO2 during this period is poorly known. Early human activities associated with new agricultural practices may have been partly responsible, but recent work has suggested that the migration of the Southern Westerly Winds (SWW) may have altered carbon cycling and
