Anyone care to describe it in words?
I have my opinion, but I will wait for others to comment first.

@Victor Eremita,
Did you notice the flood, from about 10 000 years ago?

@Poseidon,
Yeah, 10,000 years ago...hm? End of the last Ice Age?

@Victor Eremita,
This is ringing a bell; seems I saw something fairly recently on variations in the earth's orbit that result in 100,000 year climatic shift cycle.

Not sure though

@Khethil,
Can you see, how another ice age is just around the corner?
The trigger seems to be a hot wet age, which I see as melting the ice caps, which then has a freezing effect. A bit like a thermostat, which switches off the heat when it gets too hot.

Its also interesting to note that the ice age effect is more sudden than the flood side of the cycle.
