Land Bridge Caused Wild Temperature Swings - ScienceNOW

Much of the last ice age was characterized by violent climate swings. At seemingly random times beginning about 80,000 years ago, average temperatures
in and around the North Atlantic rose or fell by 10°C or more in the course of a decade or two [So did all life become extinct every time that happened?]—a pattern that lasted for 70,000 years. Researchers have debated whether the climate swings were driven by sharp variations in solar activity or simply by unstable climatic processes, but a new study also points to a more earthbound culprit: the presence of a land bridge connecting Asia to North America.
