Additionally, the temperature changes induced by a shutdown in the North Atlantic heat conveyor system are too small to explain the Younger Dryas.

Dr Kennett worked on the idea that at the start of the Younger Dryas a huge lake of fresh water suddenly breached a wall of ice that had confined it, and flowed into the northern Atlantic Ocean.
