Periodicity of cooling events

 * "...which indicate the existence of a quasiperiodic cycle of Atlantic cooling events approximately every 1470 years ± 500 years."

That's spurious accuracy there: the mean is stated to three significant figures, but the variance is half the first significant figure. 1500±500 would be more appropriate. This is also in line with the abstract at [1].

I note that the article Bond event questions the 1500-year cycle stating that current thought supports a ~1000 year cycle instead. I don't have access to the underlying research papers backing that article, so I've stuck to 1500±500 for now, been bold, and made that change. Feel free to update further, those with expertise in this field.
