Here is an an article I thought you might like on "Multiple cosmic impacts 790,000 years ago". Let's be thankful it's in the past.

After reading your link, decided to Google “images of earth temperature charts for past million years.” Unfortunately, only a few of these charts cover one million years. A lot only go to 400K or 800K or many millions of years. The second link shows one specific chart and it’s site which does cover 800K. [I wish I knew how to transfer over these graphics to FR comments.] Interestingly, there is a strong drop right were one would expect with your linked article. Also interesting is the unusually low drop in atmospheric CO2 (orange line). My question: What is it that causes the periodic drops approximately every 100K years? It looks like we might be due for one soon (10K year+-).
