changes in the mixture of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Especially variations in the concentration of CO

has increased the level of CO 2earth"s surface (IPCC, 2007). For the prediction of the exact consequences of continuing rise of the CO
2 levelfor our future climate, global climate models are used. These models are generally validated by simulating

for example, only covers just over the past 100 years (Peterson and Vose, 1997). Extension of instrumental temperature records can be achieved by the application of so-called cli-linked to an environmental parameter. Application of these proxies on a sedimentary record provides valu-

climate (Wang et al., 2004).1.2 Reconstruction of past temperatures
There are various methods to reconstruct past sea surface or air temperatures. SSTs, for example,are recorded in the oxygen isotopic composition of calcite or opal containing shells that are preserved in
marine sediments. The ratio of 18O and the lighter
16 O that is incorporated in the shells depends, amongst (). The elemental composition of the shells also provides information on past ). A temperaturesignal can furthermore be obtained from fossil organic molecules present in sediments. For example, the
