zanclus,
I lived on Staen Island for a few years, and grew up on the banks of the Hudson in Lower Hudson County. I fished the Hudson almost 40 years ago as a kid. I recently took my son on a day trip back to Weehawken/Edgewater during the summer. My in-laws still ive on SI, and we went fishing off a brand new pier they built off South Beach. The best I can say is it's changed dramatically. It's virtually a 360 from what I remember as a kid. Oceans and waterways are resilient. They can heal themselves, but we have to give them the opportunity.
Other than the obvious improvement to the water quality in NY harbor, and the return of diverse fish stocks, the other observation I can make is that though the diversity of live seems to have made a remarkable turnaround, you couldn't help but notice the small size of what was being caught, and the limited numbers. You can just look at the huge factory ships just offshore for the answer to that.
In my mind the speed, quantity, and reckless way we harvest seafood is capable of doing equaly damage to global warming. Take your kids fishing and you'll see it for yourself. No documentary, or shocking photos needed.

"Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."
Scotty, although I will use wikipedia for general information, I usually shy away from using it for major research papers or scientific proof. This is a separate note, I'm not debating the actual information about ice ages on there.
I do believe that there was an ice age... but I think there's no way of telling how much the weather changed over say, "a 100 year period". We can tell that it happened, and approximate "periods" in time, but as Kent said, we haven't been keeping records. And I don't believe we have sophisticated enough technology to pin-point exact dates of anything so long ago. Much less the weather changes.
