"Yeah, bentway posted a link where some sci-fi writer "predicted it" LOL." What Robinson did was take what scientists have been pointing out was likely and extrapolated it. It is what good SF authors do. In the case of Chaos Theory, when a dynamically stable system moves from one strange attractor to another, the system experiences wide swings in both directions. So a cooling period is obvious. So are abnormally hot ones. Heck, I have mentioned it many times over the years.
