Abstract: The last glacial maximum, when glacial conditions were last at their severest, occurred 21,000 years ago. Simulating the behaviour of the oceans and atmosphere of that time provides a test of any climate model's ability to track climate change accurately. A new simulation carried out with a properly tuned, simplified coupled ocean-atmosphere model, rather than a classical three-dimensional general circulation model, stands up well to this challenge.
