I came across this table today in Alley et al. (1997), which compares the 8.2 kiloyear event and Yonger Dryas with present climate, showing the percentage deviations of various environmental parameters. Thought it would help you lot to better imagine the scope of those two very dramatic events.
List of references:
Alley, R., P. Mayewski, T. Sowers, M. Stuvier, K. Taylor and U. Clark (1997) 'Holocene Climatic Instability: A Prominent Widespread Event 8200 Years Ago', Geology, 25, 6, 483-486.
