I didn't. <The Iceman discovered in the Northern Italian Alps . . .

(who died with an arrow in his back - which was almost certainly his cause of death)

. . . is evidence of "near over-night" climate change?

How do you come to that conclusion?

That was the assertion of the writer.

It's reasonable to expect that he wasn't wandering around in a frozen wasteland though. It must have been partly frozen, partly not. If it was not frozen year round from then on, he'd have been eaten by bugs, as corpses always are when left in the open and it's not freezing.

The climate then could have been much as it is now and likely was, since glacial flow would have ground him up.

I think he was only about 3000 years old. Far later than the end of the last glaciation.
