Dear Dr. Richey

Thank you for submitting your manuscript entitled « Influence of temporally varying weather ability on CO2-climate coupling and ecosystem change in the Late Paleozoic» to Climate of the Past.

Your manuscript has been read by two anonymous reviewers. While the two reviewers recognize the importance of your work, they also ask for minor modifications of your manuscript.

I read your answers to the reviewers and I’ve appreciated the way you answered to each comment. I encourage you to clarify points in your revised paper.

Please submit a revised version of your manuscript taking into account as much as possible reviewer assessments (as you already did in your answers). I won’t send back the revised manuscript to the reviewers as they’ve both ranked your manuscript as being publishable after minor revisions.

I look forward to receiving your revised manuscript. If you have any questions, please contact the editorial office at editorial@copernicus.org

Sincerely,

Yannick Donnadieu
