On the New Siberian Islands, explorer Eduard Toll found more than frozen mammoths. He reported a 30 foot alder tree, hundreds of miles north of where any tree can grow, flash frozen with its green leaves still on. To Matt, that points to an event in the middle of summer that sent northern temperatures plunging almost instantly. Unlike the many cosmic impact theorists in his field, Matt sides with Robert Schoch and reads it as a giant CME, a massive charged particle event that weakened the magnetosphere, shifted the poles and opened holes in the electromagnetic grid protecting the Earth.
