The samples showed that the temperature have risen 1 degree in a century instead of 4 degrees over a period of a few thousand years This is a clear indication that something is up and it is likely caused by human activities The analysis of the samples show that the Cordilleran ice sheets are melting faster than before and that their melting have caused the sea level to rise about 2 5 meters in the last few thousand years The use of berrilum 10 to date the melting instead of carbon 14 have showed that the ice melted more recent than we think showing how the rise of humanity is linked with the melting of sea ice Significance The article talks about how the recent analysis of rock samples have shown that the Cordilleran ice sheets have melted more recent and it goes to show how the rise of humanity can cause such great change in climate Chung E 2017 November 10 Western Canada's ice age melt offers preview for modern climate change Retrieved November 24 2017 from http www cbc ca news technology cordilleran ice sheet melt 1 4395042
