1 Supplementary Figure S1: Separated benthic 18 O data over 5 Myr. (a) Benthic LR04 benthic 18 O stack 16 ( ) in black with seawater 18 O ( w ) in blue and temperature contribution ( T ) in green. (b) Surface-air temperature anomaly relative to PD ( C). (c) Sea level derived from ice volume (m) in black. Ice volume (m s.e.) from the NaIS in blue, the EuIS in red, the AIS in orange and the GrIS in green. Thick lines in panel a-c represent the 400-kyr running mean. 1

2 Supplementary Figure S2: Wavelets over 5 Myr. Wavelet analysis 48 of: (a) January 80 S Insolation 43. (b) The January 80 S anomaly relative to PD calculated as max(0, Q80S). (c) Simulated sea level derived from global ice volume. (d) Sub-shelf oceanic melt of the AIS. (e) Total ice volume of the AIS. (f) Ice discharge towards the open ocean from the AIS. 2

(e) AIS ice volume, with 400-kyr evolution without insolation variability in the weighting function equation (7) in grey, on the same scale as panel (d). (f) Mediterranean stack planktonic 13 C (ref. 13). Power evolution performed with AnalySeries 49 using a moving window of 1 Myr steps of 10 kyr and a Parzen window with 90% lags. 3
