Short summary
Many closed-basin lakes are now drying, causing water crisis in hinterlands; however, many were much wetter in a similar warm world 6000 years ago. Why do they respond differently and will it be wetter or drier? We assess the wet–dry status and mechanism at different timescales and suggest that moisture change in the past and future warm periods are controlled by summer and winter precipitation, respectively. Diversified responses in different closed basins need a more resilient strategy.
