In this view, crony capitalism is the result of an excess of socialist-style interference in the market, which inherently will result in a toxic combination of corporations and government officials running the sector of the economy.
During glacial stages (ice ages), periods of time dominated by colder climate, global sea level was lowered by as much as 200 meters. About 21,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum (LGM), sea level was about 125 meters (about 410 feet) lower than it is today.
The climate of the Holocene. The last glacial maximum (Ice Age) ended about 15 thousand years ago. The most recent glacial retreat is still going on. We call the current period of glacial retreat the Holocene epoch and it continues until present. This page discusses the climate changes within the Holocene Epoch or the current interglacial period from its beginning up until about the year 1900.
