An atypical short-lived terrestrial interglacial in SW Iberia during MIS 9e due to a millennial-scale climatic change is not confirmed. High latitude warming induced by both strong GHG and insolation forcing may be associated with a different regional climatic expression in regions sensitive to climate change in terms of water availablity. Difference in forest expansion and precipitation in SW Iberia between MIS9 and MIS 5 mainly result from the contribution of insolation.
