Summary:s concern about the magnitude and rate of future climate change looms, it becomes increasingly important to understand the mechanisms underlying past abrupt climate change events. A cold event that occurred 8200 years ago, al-though much less extreme than some events during the Ice Ages, is probably most amenable to detailed examination be-cause it is the most recent such event. According to the ice-core record from Greenland, the abrupt cooling 8200 years ago was the largest climate excursion of
