I bet when he saw you on the bus the next time, he quickly buried his face in his phone.
Also, without a mountain range in the way, how far south did the ice extend during the last ice age on the American continent?
Was it already colder than in Europe back then or is the warming Gulf Stream a more recent phenomenon?
The ice went about as far south as Northern Montana and South Dakota for the most part. It was kilometres thick, and caused drumlins and kames, deposited till and formed massive lakes.
There was a discussion on climate change. One economist made a model that said 4 degrees C warming only will cause a few percentage GDP. The guy said that if you put -4 in the model, you also get a few percentage cost, and that at -4 there would be a kilometer of ice on the spot they’re sitting and it seems a bit off it would just influence the economy that little.

New ice pirate based economy incoming if we do enough geoengineering‽
Holy shit, the ice went down to the latitude of southern Spain!
Huh I didn’t think that approximately Dayton would be the furthest south the ice sheets went
