For decades, scientists have been studying the cause of the Younger Dryas, and trying to figure out if something like it could happen again. And it turns out that what caused this event is the subject of a heated debate.

    Hi all! A quick correction: at 9:17, our temperature conversion graphic mistakenly converts the temperature difference as an absolute temperature. A change of 10°C is equivalent to 18°F. We apologize for the error and a big thanks to VUQuadrophenia for pointing this out to us!

    What is interesting is the name for the volcano: Laacher See. It is named after the abbey close by, Maria Laach. But Laach itself means lake, and See means lake too. Basically, it's the lake's lake. As a small addendum: The Latin name of the abbey, the one in the deed of foundation, is Abbatia ad Lacum, Abbey at the Lake, from which the German name is derived from. And the lake is the Lake of (Maria) Laach, the Lake of the Abbey at the Lake. This makes this the Abbey at the Lake of the Abbey at the Lake of the Abbey at the Lake of the Abbey at the Lake...

    Do they follow the explanation of a massive ice melt by the impact changing the salinity of the oceans? I just wonder if that would not mean that the tropics get hotter, as the heat does not spread to the arctic regions. Is It the growing ice albedo that then results in a *global* decline of temperatures?

    The "Carolina Bays Ice Impact Hypothesis" provides a compelling answer to the question, "what would happen if a comet hit a mile-thick ice sheet 12,000 years ago?" I personally think it's much more convincing evidence than the Greenland crater. See Antonio Zamora's channel for more videos, featuring some very cool lidar images.

The extra 32 is the difference in how the temperature of water freezing is expressed. So a change in average annual temp from 20 C to 30 C is equivalent to a change from 68 F to 86 F
