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.
For the geological epoch often associated with or referred to as The Ice Age, see Pleistocene. For a generic geological period of reduced temperature and increased glaciation, see Ice age.
