When I told my daughter about the glaciers in Central Park, she was floored.

If we would just stop driving cars and trucks we could avoid thousands of deaths and safe the planet.

Does anyone on this forum know that we are still in an ice age? The warmer weather that we currently enjoy is an “interglacial period” and because these interglacials last an average of about 20,000 years we are scheduled to enter full glacial mode in about 9,000 years.

If you look at the chart below you can see that our current interglacial has not yet warmed up as much as the last 4 interglacials. better weather is on the way and it has nothing to do with burning fossil fuels.

Also remember that global sea levels have been continuously rising since the start of this interglacial 11,000 years ago and has never stopped - not once. The current rate of sea level rise is historically slow right now.

“At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth’s history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago. The last period of glaciation, which is often informally called the “Ice Age,” peaked about 20,000 years ago. At that time, the world was on average probably about 10°F (5°C) colder than today, and locally as much as 40°F (22°C) colder.”

Educate yourselves and fight the watermelon marxists (Green on the outside, red on the inside):

GLAD YOU ASKED: ICE AGES – WHAT ARE THEY AND WHAT CAUSES THEM?

I have spent a lot of time in New York City and have seen the exposed bedrock that has glacial grooves in Central Park. Here is a pic of exposed bedrock in Central Park with glacial grooves..
