A 2-million-year-old ecosystem in Greenland uncovered by environmental DNA - Nature
Analysis of two-million-year-old ancient environmental DNA from the Kap København Formation in North Greenland shows there was an open boreal forest with diverse plant and animal species, of which several taxa have not previously been detected at the site, representing an ecosystem that has no...www.nature.com
You can quote this. Chicago was under ice age glacier from the North American Ice age from 30+ million years ago to 20k years ago...
During the past million years it thawed. The North American Ice Age likely had started to "melt" 1 million years ago, but precisely when NAIA started to melt is very difficult to prove and document and date. My guess is 3 million years ago it started, but that is a guess. NAIA got shut off when the water surrounding Ellesmere Island became water from ice, because it was ice, NAIA ice. When did that happen? Guess 3 million years ago.
5 million cubic miles of ice, most in Canada, took how many years to melt???
These conditions must have driven substantial ablation of the Greenland Ice Sheet, possibly producing one of the last ice-free intervals7 in the last 2.4 million years (Myr).
So, Greenland, ice-free. So what?

Great, find a source like the Greenland one that actually backs your claim.
