"The ice core showed the Northern Hemisphere briefly emerged from the

in just 50 years, then plunged back into icy conditions before
abruptly warming again about 11,700 years ago. Startlingly, the
Greenland ice core evidence showed that a massive "reorganization" of
atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere coincided with each
temperature spurt, with each reorganization taking just one or two
years, said the study authors."

Keep in mind, this was some years before eighteen wheelers and coal-
fired plants. Probably those darned whales splashing around in the
North Atlantic. Or . . . ?
