There has been research focused on a meteor or asteroid strike causing a massive melt and/or breakup of an ice dam on the Canadian ice sheet, resulting in a shut down of the Gulf Stream and onset of the Younger Dryas.

As I understand this summary, which omits the "research," this guy is saying it wasn't a single strike, but the Earth wandering into the remains of a broken up comet that was the triggering event. Sorta like the Millennium Falcon going into the remains of Alderaan.

It really is a scandal that anyone doing this kind of research has to throw in an obligatory reference to the global warming hoax. I guess they have to do that to get funding.

If you just needed a slug of really cold water, drain Lake Agassiz. It had to have happened sometime...
