| Sources | Title (cont.) The stable-isotopic ratios of ice were calibrated, as shown on the vertical scales, using borehole temperatures in the ice sheet. The record shows a warming of more than 20°C since the coldest time of the last ice age, and jumps of many °C over decades. Cuffey, K.M., G.D. Clow, R.B. Alley, M. Stuiver, E.D. Waddington and R.W.
