Ice Age/ Interglacial Cycle

Ice Age/Interglacial Cycle
During the last Ice Age, approximately one-third of all land was covered by glaciers. Glaciers reached as far south as New York City. This huge volume of ice reduced the amount of water in the oceans, which lowered sea level by several hundred feet. As a result, a land bridge joined Siberia to Alaska, making travel between the two continents possible.

Welcome to the start of the next ice age. Luckily, we cna use molecular nuclear fusion to sort it out, and stop the loss of life. Or we could if nuclear power weren't so busy pushing the phantom 'Global Warming'
