Cool ocean air can cause a cooler climate.

Explanation: An ocean is a very important abiotic factor in any environment and has impacts on the climate of the environments it is found. The ocean currents are driven by the global wind system, which is powered by the energy of the sun. These currents transfer heat to the polar regions from the tropics and brings about the sooling of their environment, thus giving rise to cool climate.
