The large, abrupt, widespread, millennial changes recorded in many paleoclimatic archives pose a major challenge to our understanding of the climate system. Both periodic and stochastic models have been proposed to explain these events. We have argued that Greenland ice-core data are more consistent with a stochastic-resonance hypothesis. Here, we show that the stochastic-resonance hypothesis is consistent with a wider range of previously published data than analyzed before including a North Atlantic marine record and the Byrd Station, Antarctica ice-isotopic record.
