This claim is false. This TikTok is exaggerating an idea that has no real basis, and is just an appeal to people's fear. According to this article by the Australian Associated Press, geologists have found no evidence to base this claim. https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/cataclysmic-cosmic-cycle-is-kooky-climate-conspiracy/

The linked video does not actually provide any information about this claim. A google search shows nothing published that agrees with this claim of "12,000 year cycles of cataclysms." If you google the causes of climate change you will be presented with real information and claims backed up by scientific proof.

This is false. The website, AAP Factcheck, found that this is just a conspiracy whirling around the internet. There is no evidence of a 12,000 year cycle of cataclysm affecting climate change.
