No!

Wasn't it millions of years?

How can it only be MONTHS?

Sarcasm off. I suppose it depends on Who you see as being in charge. God or man? God can do whatever He wants as quickly or as long as He wants it to be.

There are a number of scientists who speculate some sort of impact event--either from a big meteor or comet--some 12,800 years ago that essentially wiped out just about all mammal life forms, including a fairly sizable early homo sapiens population--in North America itself. That's why human culture in North America was so distinctly different before and after that supposed impact.

Lake Agassiz would do that.

Thanks decimon! The medieval "Little Ice Age" also took hold quickly.

What a crock.

Shut down the Gulf Stream flow, and Europe cools of four degrees.

The article makes direct reference to “the Day After Tomorrow,” hoping people will fear this as an effect of global warming. The effect of warming Europe four degrees from global warming will be that a gulf stream which warms Europe four degrees shuts down. Hmmm...

[Interesting Times]

Around 12,800 years ago the northern hemisphere was hit by the Younger Dryas mini ice age, or "Big Freeze". It was triggered by the slowdown of the Gulf Stream, led to the decline of the Clovis culture in North America, and lasted around 1300 years.

The sort of timeframe for which they now have evidence is much more consistent with an impact event than with "the slowdown of the Gulf Stream."

The mini ice age that most people refer to, took place a lot later than 12,000 years ago. It took place about 1300 AD. give or take(someone, I know, can come up with more precise figures). It took one summer for the weather to change, one summer in which there really wasn't a summer. Starvation and famine was the order of the day after that, Greenland was no longer green, Europe had to learn to grow different crops in order to survive, but that took time. Around the middle of the 19th century, the mini ice age began to subside and we are still recovering from it today.

I didn't write this to refute your posting, just clarifying what most people refer to as the "mini" or "little" ice age.
