<If you had even the most basic acquaintance with this topic, you would know that the ice sheet during the ice age did not extend much south of Vancouver on the North America west coast.>

I haven't checked the exact extent of snowfall on the west coast, but I guess that Oregon, which isn't exactly tropical now, would be very cold with an ice sheet south of Vancouver BC.

I lived in Ottawa and there wasn't an ice sheet anywhere close, but I can tell you it was freezing! Not all year long, but long enough [snow for 9 months of the year one year we were there - snow in September and the last fall in May].

Rather than picking at the fringes of my amazing theory on ice ages, and saying "insupportable and reckless firehose of nonsense", why don't you try reasoning and data. I know reasoning is really tough for people who don't have the basis for it. They always go for a picky little trivia, the person and random insults which shows what little they have.

Got any more reasoning to back your position? I accept that the last ice sheet didn't reach Oregon [though I haven't checked and haven't found your ideas to be very robust previously]. So what? The next one probably will - since the glaciations are getting bigger and better as the Earth comes in for the final big freeze.
