It's not there. Instead we see a small earlier dip known as the Antarctic cold reversal well before the YD

But the earlier warming is consistent with the mystery interval and the cold reversal is consistent with the re-glaciation events in the Northern hemisphere. Could it be that the Antarctic ice cores isotopes are more consistent with global temperatures than the Greenland isotopes?
