Model-dependence of the CO<sub>2</sub> threshold for melting the hard Snowball Earth

One of the critical issues of the Snowball Earth hypothesis is the CO<sub>2</sub> threshold for triggering the deglaciation. Using Community Atmospheric Model version 3.0 (CAM3), we study the problem for the CO<sub>2</sub> threshold. Our simulations show large differences fro...
