We can see this ceiling temperature nailed every transition from glacial to interglacial cycle today at least as far as temperature proxies in ice cores going back a million years are accurate.

In many instances, silt from glacial outflows can develop a dam downstream of the glacial flood.

It seems clear enough from evidence of the geologic past that before the earth started ringing like a bell every 120K years from glacial to interglacial with the former dominating the other 10:1 in persistence, the Eocene optimum 50 million years ago the earth was ice - free, green from pole to pole, it was about 11F warmer overall, with the most dramatic warming in the highest latitudes (right where you'd want it if you could ask for it), and atmspheric CO2 was several times what it is today, which makes sense in light of much warmer global ocean not able to hold as much CO2.

This type of behavior is especially evident during transitions from glacial to interglacial conditions, when climate is affected by a wide variety of time - varying influences and is relatively unstable.

If we can understand what forces earth moves from glacial to interglacial and back, then we will have an improved understanding of climate.

Is that from glacial ice melt in Greenland and Arctic sea ice melt, with the melt caused by the El Niño?

Huge natural climate changes, from glacial to interglacial states, have been driven by very weak, very slow forcings, and positive feedbacks.

Paleo research shows the shifts from glacial periods to interglacials, and back to glacials weren't gradual at all (at least not during the second half of the Pleistocene — the Age of ice ages).

Biokinetics dictate that CO2 follows warming — some 2 W / m2 from glacial max to interglacial.

The glaciers are an indispensable part of the national water supply system; as much as 30 percent of the water supply for the 2 million residents of La Paz and its sister city of El Alto comes from glacial melt.

And according to scientists who have 800,000 years of carbon records derived from glacial ice core samples, there is a strong link between earth temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

It rose more than that going from the glacial period to the Younger Dryas (about 120 m), and may have risen about 24 m to 36 m from the Younger Dryas to the Holocene, but has only slowly varied during the Holocene, with variation less than 1 m over the last 6,000 y. I don't think NYC is in any danger.
