The Earth is not getting hotter because it is getting to the center of the universe.
There's two main reasons as to why the Earth is getting hotter:
1. Natural cycle
We are in a period when the Earth is in between glaciation, with one of them being behind us, and the other one being in the future. In the period in between, the Earth has the tendency to become warmer and warmer because of the change of the composition of the atmosphere, as well as the ocean currents.
2. Human activity
The people have been contributing for the increase in the warming process in the past century, and that has been done with the large release of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere. These two gases are gases that trap more heat in the atmosphere, thus resulting in an increase of the Greenhouse effect.
Glaciers shaped the landscape is the answer. Actually, in Nova Scotia near Halifax there is a glacial boulder or erratic of basalt which is deemed to come from about 130km away perhaps from the north or NW. Also, there are glacial striations there on the bedrock which can be used to determine the sense of the direction of flow of the ice. In New England, there are pro-glacial lakes. Both the Maritimes and New England were most likely covered by the Laurentide continental glaciation.
I don’t know maybe you should figure it out yourself, it’s a short story. I’m sure that you're capable of reading a short story.
