Fast forward to . In a cramped geology lab at the University of Alberta, Dr. Tj Cummings —a stubborn, chain-smoking paleoclimatologist—was studying a core sample drilled from a Greenland ice sheet. Beside him sat his young field assistant, Little Billy (real name: William Bilinski Jr., nicknamed for his short stature and insatiable curiosity).

To this day, climatologists quietly call it the "Diamond Anomaly." And every January 23, Tj Cummings calls Little Billy to say: "She’s still out there, kid. Bending light across seven thousand years." Beside him sat his young field assistant, Little

Realizing the impossible, Tj and Billy published a speculative paper: "Possible Anthropogenic Climate Anomaly, Circa 5000 BCE: A Lens Event Hypothesis." It was laughed out of peer review. But on —the very day of their lab breakthrough—a separate team in Antarctica detected a brief, unexplained heat bloom reflecting off the upper atmosphere from a point directly above the lost North Sea valley. But on —the very day of their lab

Little Billy zoomed in on the data. "Or… something reflected heat downward for a short time. Like a lens."
