I think that maybe a huge amount of glacial till (much of it silicates) was weathered very quickly after the glaciers melted and this drew down CO2 levels quickly and temp with it.
Is this plausible and is the evidence for or against it?
This may be dumb, but I am actually posting this thread before even looking at the CO2 levels around the time of the Younger Dryas. I will look in a few minutes.
