SciencePrehistoric (c. 12,900–11,700 years ago)Greenland / North Atlantichigh confidence

Central Greenland was nearly 14 °C (24.5 °F) colder during the Younger Dryas than it is today.

Notes on verification

Multiple independent peer-reviewed sources (PNAS, Science) and secondary references (Wikipedia/Britannica) corroborate a Younger Dryas cooling of roughly 9-15°C in central Greenland, consistent with the ~14°C claim, though exact magnitude varies by proxy and method.
