I have to ask the relevance of this. You've cherry-picked a few quotes from your article, which ALSO states the following:
Clues to End of the Last Ice Age

The study does not question the fact that CO2 plays a key role in climate.

Here is the actual article being discussed in that press release:
CLIMATE CHANGE; A Far-South Start for Ice Age's End -- Kerr 317 (5846): 1847a -- Science
Quote:
A Far-South Start for Ice Age's End
Strong new evidence from the tropics, reported online this week in Science, places the start of the last deglaciation in the waters around Antarctica.

It mainly discusses that the end of the last ice age also involved a thousand years of circulating currents in the ocean, and that the warming began before the CO
2 increase. It said that as the CO
2 increased that the warming sped up.
Again, relevance?
The SCIENCE above article suggested a related paper, shown here below for those so inclined:
Southern Hemisphere and Deep-Sea Warming Led Deglacial Atmospheric CO2 Rise and Tropical Warming -- Stott et al. 318 (5849): 435 -- Science
To your WIRED magazine reference above, if you actually view the video to which you linked, you will see that it was a piece about robotic payloads being lowered to explore these hard to reach vents near the north pole. It discussed nothing about global climate, nor the effect of these vents, and really is just another non-sequitur.
