chunk of ice? I believe the entirety of the polar ice caps was melting, hence the crazy rise in sea level, which changed the weather completely. The currents that brought warm water/winds northward were now flowing differently, and the jetstream plummeted southward. This was followed by the beggining of an ice age(Hence people fleeing to Mexico). NYC ended up like it was in AI. The new ice cap was forming much farther south. I think the scale was fine. It was the short time period that was ridiculous.
