Description
Ancient climate data keeps revealing something wild: at the end of the last ice age, temperatures didn’t just drift up or down — the climate could snap. Scientists studying past climate have documented sudden drops or surges on the order of 15°F in a year or two, and it happened multiple times.
If explanations stay limited to terrestrial causes alone, the “how” gets hard to explain. But if the frame expands beyond Earth—into the cosmic domain—rapid, dramatic shifts become easier to discuss as possibilities.
