Global Warming: Younger Dryas' Comet 'Impacts' Holocene's Onset Peak Temperature

If one looks at the temperature charts of the past four glaciations and interglacials of the Pleistocene, note that the rising rate of temperature at the end of each ice age that leads into each interglacial period is steep and continuous (due to Milankovitch cycle). The highest temperature of each interglacial is at its onset. The peak at the onset of our current interglacial, the Holocene, however, was not as high as the previous interglacials' peak temperatures because a huge comet blast 12,900 years ago caused the Younger Dryas cooling period that lasted a thousand years which tempered our current Holocene interglacial's peak temperature.

Note: Our interglacial's "naturally" occurring highest temperatures ended 5,000 years ago during which time gray whales traversed the Northwest Passage between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic). Today's warming trend is now once again allowing the gray whales to access the polar route. Despite being hunted to extinction in the Atlantic in the 18th century, they are now starting to appear in places as unlikely as off the coast of Israel.
