Was the Ice Age caused by a supernova?

 A new theory says that a nearby supernova may have been responsible for the Ice Age during the Pleistocene.

The theory is that the elevated cosmic rays caused by the supernova increased cloud coverage on Earth and cooled the planet.

Maybe we should hope for Betelgeuse to toss us a global warming lifeline?
