The shift in climate that occurred between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Early Holocene (ca. 18–12 kyr BP) displayed rates of temperature increase similar to present-day warming trends. The most rapid recorded changes in temperature occurred... Read More about Dynamical response of the southwestern Laurentide Ice Sheet to rapid Bølling–Allerød warming.
