What was the catalyst for the climate event?
A catalyst? ... there's no need for a catalyst for an oscillating system ... a bouncy ball bounces on it's own, like a tigger ... no one knows what the initial impulse was, though the timing would indicate the splitting of Gondwana and the formation of the Atlantic Ocean thrust the Earth into and life-destroying, dinosaur obliterating Ice Age where only the worst of God's creatures could thrive ... like rodents and their primate cousins ...
You'll need to define what you mean by "climate event" ... we usually have weather events, like rain or snow or hail or wind ... when we average all the weather events together, we get climate ... any single event is blurred beyond recognition in the average we calculate, by design ...
Climatology is the study of averages, not events ...
