This data set is the oxygen isotope data ( δ 18O) and its temperature reconstruction from the Chongce ice cores, in western Kunlun Mountains, Northwestern Tibetan Plateau. The Chongce ice cores were dated back to 7 ka BP by a two-parameter flow model (2p model) constrained by the AMS 14C ages. The δ 18O measurements were performed at Nanjing University by a Wavelength Scanned Cavity Ring-Down Spectrometer (WS-CRDS, model: Picarro L2120-i), with the analytical uncertainty of less than 0.1‰. Our reconstructed temperature record shows a long-term warming trend until ~2 ka BP, followed by an abrupt change to a relatively cool period until the start of the industrial-era warming. In addition, the record shows that temperatures during the recent decades are almost the highest during the past 7 ka BP, highlighting the unusual warming forced by anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
