Abrupt climate change
Abrupt climate change refers to an event where large and widespread climate change occurs within about five years. A regional drought such as the Dust Bowl of 1932-1938 is the most familiar climate change on this time scale, but the phrase was coined because of worldwide, centuries-long events seen in ice cores of past climate.
