Too much of this thing is unreferenced, or referenced to dubious sources (popular books) William M. Connolley 12:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The article Younger Dryas describes the same event better. Some of this text might be transferred there and then a #REDIRECT. Gabriel Kielland (talk) 21:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't merge

Incorrect! the Younger Dryas and the 8.2 kiloyear event were completely separate phenomena, 3000+ years apart. The Wikipedia entry on the Younger Dryas says nothing about the 8.2 kiloyear event.Ugajin (talk) 03:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto above, these are two different climatic fluctuations during the Holocene. I've added a couple of references of the top of my head to the article, in due course when I have more spare time I shall proceed to tidy up the article and add better references.

May we delete the merge proposal, since it was suggested in error?--Wetman (talk) 22:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other names

The 8.2 kiloyear event (also known as Misox oscillation or Bond event 5) seems odd to me. Misox osc is barely known [1] and certainly doesn't deserve to be bold. Ditto Bond event 5. These are so non-notable hat I don't think they deserve to be mentionned to prominently William M. Connolley (talk) 21:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't notice you comment. But I changed it anyway. —Bender235 (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

6th or 7th millenium...?

If my calculation is correct then 7th millenium is in fact correct. BP is years before 1950 when calculating. So 8200 BP becomes 6250 BC - which is the 7th millenia (1BC-999BC is first). Did i miscalculate? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 23:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I was wrong. —Bender235 (talk) 00:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding sea level change during the 8.2k event

This article mentions sea level dropping 14 meters in 200 years due to glacial advance during the 8.2k event. This claim is unreferenced and really quite unbelievable - that'd be two Greenland Ice Sheets worth of ice growth, and way beyond the sea level response that took place during the far more severe Younger Dryas. So I wonder what's the source for this claim?J.S.Salonen (talk) 11:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
