Dear Dr. Tabone,
I have now assessed the two independent reviews of your CP discussion MS and I have evaluated your reply to the reviewer's concerns.
I think that both reviewers provide valuable suggestions on how to improve your MS, but they both point out that moderate to major revisions are needed before the paper is acceptable for publication.
From your reply to their comments, I can see that you are planning to take into account the main concerns raised by the reviewers in the next version of the MS. I agree with this approach, and in the final phase I will most likely re-contact one or both reviewers to ensure that their concerns have been addressed in full.
I look forward to receive your revised MS.
Regards,
Alessio Rovere

Dear Author,
After reading your paper, evaluating your response to the reviewers and after the positive assessment of one reviewer, I am happy to communicate you that the paper you submitted in Climate of the Past is acceptable for publication subject to minor revisions.
In fact, I encourage you to consider the final minor points raised by Rev#1 and I also urge you to re-read carefully your work as the reviewer suggests to avoid typos and wording problems that might affect the final quality of the MS.
Many thanks for choosing Climate of the Past to publish your data.
Alessio Rovere
