The Massive Flood That Triggered an Ice Age (w/ PBS Eons!)

The video explores the Younger Dryas, a period of intense cooling caused by a mega flood from Lake Agassiz, which disrupted the Atlantic Meridianal Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This event led to significant climate changes, affecting ecosystems and human cultures like the Clovis. The video also discusses the research into these floods and their relevance to understanding current climate change.
