Unraveling the complexities of the Last Glacial Maximum climate: the role of individual boundary conditions and forcings by X. Shi, X. Shi, M. Werner, H. Yang, H. Yang, R. D'Agostino, R. D'Agostino, J. Liu, J. Liu, C. Yang, G. Lohmann

“…Decreased greenhouse gases in LGM as compared to present day leads to a non-uniform global cooling with polar amplification effect. The presence of LGM ice sheets favors a warming over the Arctic and northern Atlantic oceans in boreal winter, as well as a cooling over regions with the presence of ice sheets. …”

Climate and chemistry effects of a regional scale nuclear conflict by A. Stenke, C. R. Hoyle, B. Luo, E. Rozanov, J. Gröbner, L. Maag, S. Brönnimann, T. Peter

“…Consequently, the model suggests earth's surface temperatures to drop by several degrees Celsius due to the shielding of solar irradiance by the soot, indicating a major global cooling. In addition, there is a substantial reduction of precipitation lasting 5 to 10 yr after the conflict, depending on the magnitude of the initial soot release. …”

Latest Ordovician–early Silurian palaeoenvironmental changes and palaeotemperature trends indicated by stable carbon and oxygen isotopes from northern Estonia by Bilal Gul, Leho Ainsaar, Tõnu Meidla

“…The bulk carbonate δ18O values show a prominent positive excursion in the Hirnantian interval possibly reflecting the global cooling event. The post-glacial latest Ordovician to early Silurian global warming might be responsible for the clear decreasing trend of both the δ18Obulk and δ18Obrach values in the interval of the Juuru Regional Stage in the studied sections. …”

Snakes on an African plain: the radiation of Crotaphopeltis and Philothamnus into open habitat (Serpentes: Colubridae) by Hanlie M. Engelbrecht, William R. Branch, Krystal A. Tolley

“…The current heterogeneous landscape was formed through long-term vegetation shifts as a result of the global cooling trend since the Oligocene epoch. The overwhelming trend was a shift from primarily forest, to primarily savanna. …”

The Cenozoic climatic and topographic evolution of the western North American Cordillera by Mix, H. T., Mulch, A., Hren, M. T., Davis, S. J., Horton, T. W., Chamberlain, C. Page, Kent-Corson, Malinda Louise, Graham, Stephan A.

“…The combined effects of global cooling, increasing latitudinal temperature gradients, and the generation of the orographic barrier created by the growing north to south highland produced a southward migration of the NAM front. …”

Evolution of Cherries (<i>Prunus</i> Subgenus <i>Cerasus</i>) Based on Chloroplast Genomes by Xin Shen, Wenjin Zong, Yingang Li, Xinhong Liu, Fei Zhuge, Qi Zhou, Shiliang Zhou, Dongyue Jiang

“…<i>Cerasus</i> started diversification at 15.01 Mya, coinciding with geological and climatic changes, including the uplift of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and global cooling. The Himalayans were the refuge of cherries, from which a few species reached Europe through westward migration and another species reached North America through northeastward migration. …”

Comparative plastome analysis of the sister genera Ceratocephala and Myosurus (Ranunculaceae) reveals signals of adaptive evolution to arid and aquatic environments by Jing Long, Wen-Chuang He, Huan-Wen Peng, Andrey S. Erst, Wei Wang, Kun-Li Xiang

“…Moreover, intensified aridity and frequent sea-level fluctuations, as well as global cooling, might have favored an increased rate of change in some genes at about 3.3 Ma, associated with adaptation to dry and aquatic environments, respectively. …”

Factors controlling the last interglacial climate as simulated by LOVECLIM1.3 by M. F. Loutre, T. Fichefet, H. Goosse, P. Huybrechts, H. Goelzer, E. Capron

“…<br><br> The additional freshwater flux (FWF) from the melting NH ice sheets is responsible for a temporary abrupt weakening of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which causes a strong global cooling in annual mean. However, the changes in the configuration (extent and albedo) of the NH ice sheets during the LIG only slightly impact the simulated climate. …”

Subambient Passive Cooling Enabled by Polyethylene Aerogels by Leroy, Arny

“…One promising solution to help address existing and future global cooling challenges is to use passive cooling solutions such as passive radiative or evaporative cooling to provide electricity-free subambient refrigeration for food produce or to improve the efficiency of existing air conditioners and refrigerators. …”

Hemispherically symmetric strategies for stratospheric aerosol injection by Y. Zhang, D. G. MacMartin, D. Visioni, E. M. Bednarz, E. M. Bednarz, E. M. Bednarz, B. Kravitz, B. Kravitz

“…In addition, injecting in the subtropics produces more global cooling per unit injection, with the EQ and the 60N<span class="inline-formula">+</span>60S cases requiring, respectively, 59 % and 50 % more injection than the 30N<span class="inline-formula">+</span>30S case to meet the same global mean temperature target. …”

The Late Ordovician extinction conundrum by Christian M. Ø. Rasmussen

Recent advances in the Ordovician stratigraphy of the Baltic Palaeobasin and Tornquist margin of Baltica by Tõnu Meidla, Leho Ainsaar, Olle Hints, Sigitas Radzevičius

“…The climatic history of the region presented in papers of the last decades is modified in the light of the newest results of isotope-geochemical studies on Baltoscandian sections, which do not support the idea of gradual warming throughout the Middle and Late Ordovician in the region. The global cooling trend was also influencing Baltica despite the continental drift towards the lower latitudes. …”

Genetic legacies of past climate change on Arctic species: how past responses shape future impacts by Dance, M

“…The best supported model suggested a Mid-Quaternary origin of the dwarf birch species complex, likely in response to the global cooling and associated large climatic changes of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. …”
