shows you can see 15,000 years ago there’s a spike in temperature the ice
there’s a spike in temperature the ice
there’s a spike in temperature the ice age is ending and then suddenly the

temperature plummets to what it was
temperature plummets to what it was below what it was during the Ice Age
below what it was during the Ice Age
below what it was during the Ice Age that is when the comet hit 1,300 years
that is when the comet hit 1,300 years
that is when the comet hit 1,300 years later the temperature returns to normal
later the temperature returns to normal
