Under sustained strong forcing, the tropical Pacific zonal sea surface temperature gradient is predicted to decrease, while paleoclimate proxy records show an increase over time with decreasing carbon dioxide concentrations, resembling warmer high carbon dioxide climates and colder periods with lower carbon dioxide, according to paleoclimate proxy records and climate model simulation results.
