Climate Ready: Evidence in NYC shows rapid glacier melt is leading to real-world effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) \u2014 It\u2019s not just in the movies; the ice on our planet is melting faster than we ever thought possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This melting is not just taking place at the North and South Poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything from the relatively small glaciers that we\u2019re use to looking iconically at, to the Alps, the Rockies, Alaska,\u201d Robin Bell, geophysicist and glaciologist, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a tide gauge down at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal,\u201d said Bell. \u201cAnd sea levels have just been going up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York City\u2019s history with glaciers goes much further back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout 20,000 years ago, this whole area was under ice,\u201d Steven Jaret, research associate at the American Museum of Natural History, said. \u201cIt would have been here about 1,000 to 2,000 feet thick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parts of New York State, more than a mile and a half of ice covered what is now ground level, which is more than four times the height of one World Trade Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article goes on to describe all of the breathtaking evidence of catastrophic glacier melting in and around New York City: Glacial erratics<\/a>, glacial striations<\/a>, more glacial erratics\u2026 Oddly enough they failed to mention that Long Island is basically a terminal moraine. They even included a cute video, with clips from the Ice Age<\/em> cartoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
