A number of key paleoclimate records in the Southern Hemisphere midlatitudes exhibit climate changes synchronous with abrupt climate changes in the North Atlantic. We advance a hypothesis - argued from consideration of model evidence, observational climate diagnostics, and atmospheric dynamics - tha...
