It seems the Blockbuster film, The Day After Tomorrow wasn’t too farfetched after all. Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, have found evidence that the mini ice age that hit the Northern Hemisphere about 12,800 years ago took only months to occur, rather than a decade, as previously estimated.
