Dear Authors,
I have read your responses to the reviewer's comments, and I am ready to consider your paper for publication in Climate of the Past after moderate revisions.
In particular, I encourage you to revise the MS following the reviewer's suggestions and implementing in the paper the changes you suggested in your replies.
I look forward to receive a new version of your MS.
Regards,
Alessio Rovere

Main points that need to be addressed.
Referring to the comments of Rev.1 listed in your response, I would encourage you to address specifically in the MS points 2/3/4/6/7: make sure that the reader of your final MS understands your counterpoints.
The same applies to points 3/4 raised by Rev.2.

Dear Authors,
After reading your response to the reviewers and the final version of your MS, I am happy to report that I can accept it for publication in Climate of the Past.
I have only one minor suggestion: some of the figures seem to be of low-quality (Figures 10,11,12,13). Please make sure that their resolution is high enough as per the journal guidelines.
Also, I would encourage you to make your data available in a repository (e.g. PANGEA or others) and indicate the link in the paper, to ensure that other researchers will be able to use your results for their work.
Regards,
Alessio Rovere
