I think almost all of Canada was under the ice including Vancouver. The only place in Canada as far as I know that escaped the ice sheet was Haida Gwaii.
The thought of huge glaciers calving icebergs into the Burrard Inlet and the Strait of Georgia is a scary thought. I bet the climate here would have been currently like the coast of Northern Greenland.
Same for my area. Average January temps in the lower 20s would be pretty awesome!
Cambium would be happy, too.
I wouldn't have to move north. Sit right here watching the icebergs go by. lol
And yeah, "Ice Age" doesn't mean the entire planet freezes over and we die. It would still reach 60s or 70s in the Summer in North Carolina and I believe other parts of the globe can still be warming..
I think many people are misinformed (or scared) that the impending Ice Age means we're all doomed. Just like the warming we're supposed to worry about..
The term "ice age" typically invokes images of a frozen world, covered in snow and ice, in a time when woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers roamed the Earth. However, scientists use the term ice age or glacial ageglacial age: any geological period in which long-term cooling takes place and ice sheets and glaciers exist. to describe any geological period in which long-term cooling takes place and ice sheets and glaciers exist. That means we are currently in the midst of an ice age right now! More specifically, we are in an interglacialinterglacial: warm period within a glacial age.(warm period) within a glacial age. Cold periods within a glacial age are called glacialsglacial: period within a glacial age, characterized by cooler temperatures and advancing glaciers. also called glaciation. or glaciationsglaciation: period within a glacial age, characterized by cooler temperatures and advancing glaciers. also called a glacial., and are characterized by cooler temperatures and advancing glaciers.
