GoKawiilStudy finds Laurentide ice remnant began regrowing 2,000 years ago, then reversed after 1960
A Science study led by Columbia geologist Nicolás Young examined the Barnes Ice Cap, the last surviving fragment of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in the Canadian Arctic, and found it shrank to its smallest size about 3,600 years ago before starting to expand again around 2,000 years ago. The researchers say that regrowth, which they interpret as the beginning of a new glaciation, halted and reversed around 1960 due to human-caused warming.
