|a Earth’s modern climate, characterized by polar ice sheets and large equator-to-pole temperature
gradients, is rooted in environmental changes that promoted Antarctic glaciation ~33.7 million
years ago. Onset of Antarctic glaciation reflects a critical tipping point for Earth’s climate and
provides a framework for investigating the role of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during major
climatic change. Previously published records of alkenone-based CO2 from high- and low-latitude
ocean localities suggested that CO2 increased during glaciation, in contradiction to theory.
Here, we further investigate alkenone records and demonstrate that Antarctic and subantarctic
data overestimate atmospheric CO2 levels, biasing long-term trends. Our results show that CO2
declined before and during Antarctic glaciation and support a substantial CO2 decrease as the
primary agent forcing Antarctic glaciation, consistent with model-derived CO2 thresholds. |
