A 1960 paper by W. Maurice Ewing and Bruce C. Heezen, “Evidence for an abrupt change in climate close to 11,000 years ago,” presented evidence for an abrupt climate transition near that date. It did not conclusively confirm the change, and the claim that a “fairly abrupt” qualifier was deliberately removed is unsupported.
