Claim: And  since the last ice age ended almost exactly 11,500 years ago…" (Ice Age Now)

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The last continental glaciation ended 10,000 years ago.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The last cold episode of the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: During the most recent North American glaciation, during the latter part of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 13,300 years ago), ice sheets extended to about 45th parallel north.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Accordingly, at glacial times the humid climatic belt that today is situated several latitude degrees further to the S, was shifted much further to the N. Although the last glacial period ended more than 8,000 years ago, its effects can still be felt today.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The earth is currently in an interglacial, and the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The last glacial period, commonly referred to as the 'Ice Age', spanned 125,000 to 14,500 years ago and was the most recent glacial period within the current ice age which occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene epoch.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The last glacial period, commonly referred to as the "Ice Age", spanned 125,000–14,500 YBP and was the most recent glacial period within the current ice age, which occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene era.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The last cold period began about 115,000 years ago and ended 11,700 years ago.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Estimates vary for when the last time the Arctic was ice-free: 65 million years ago when fossils indicate that plants existed there to as recently as 5,500 years ago; ice and ocean cores going back 8,000 years to the last warm period or 125,000 during the last intraglacial period.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: At the end of the last ice age, between 10,000 and 11,500 years ago, the sea level was about 175 meters higher than it is today.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The maximum ice extent occurred approximately 25,000 -- 21,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum, also known as the Late Wisconsin in North America.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The Last Glacial Period (LGP) occurred from the end of the Eemian to the end of the Younger Dryas, encompassing the period c. 115,000 – c. 11,700 years ago.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: In the North Atlantic, sediments accumulated since the end of the last ice age, nearly 12,000 years ago, show regular increases in the amount of coarse sediment grains deposited from icebergs melting in the now open ocean, indicating a series of 1–2 °C (2–4 °F) cooling events recurring every 1,500 years or so.
