Mid-Miocene climate transition
The Mid-Miocene climate transition was a major global cooling event around 14–13 million years ago that marked the expansion of Antarctic ice sheets and a shift toward the colder climate state that characterizes the later Cenozoic.

NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).

-
A.
Eocene–Oligocene climate transition
The Eocene–Oligocene climate transition was a major global cooling event around 34 million years ago that marked the shift from a greenhouse to an icehouse Earth, including the formation of large Antarctic ice sheets.
-
B.
Paleogene climatic optimums
Paleogene climatic optimums were intervals of exceptionally warm global climate during the Paleogene Period that set the stage for the cooler conditions of the subsequent Neogene.

C.
Snowball Earth glaciations
Snowball Earth glaciations were extreme global-scale ice ages in the Precambrian when ice sheets may have covered most or all of Earth’s surface for millions of years.
-
D.
Cenozoic glaciations
Cenozoic glaciations are a series of major ice age cycles during the Cenozoic Era that saw extensive growth and retreat of continental ice sheets, profoundly shaping Earth’s climate and landscapes.
-
E.
Milankovitch cycles
Milankovitch cycles are long-term variations in Earth’s orbit and axial tilt that drive natural climate fluctuations, including the timing of ice ages.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity.
