    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.
