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.

What evidence suggests that the Younger Dryas had a negative impact on human cultures in North America?

Discuss the possible causes of the Younger Dryas and the significance of the mega flood hypothesis.

How did the research of Jay Harlan Bretz contribute to our understanding of ancient floods?
