Actually the most warming happened when most of the Neanderthals took their ice cities off-world, leaving their country bumpkins to deal with things. The giant exhaust plumes from their ships covered miles of ice and created lakes which later burst and washed away any remaining evidence of their civilization.
and now you know the rest of the story
40 miles inland and 600 feet above sea level. Not worried.

At one point hundreds of millions of years ago the entire Earth was covered with ice - known as the Snowball Earth. The Earth goes through periods of glaciation and periods of warmth - according to many we are now entering a cold period, and eventually glaciers will form once again and then melt as the Earth warms once again and so on
Too many SUVs?

This has to be one of the worst Fake News articles I have ever read. At first I had missed that it was MSN. It was so poorly written that I assumed that it was some juvenile scare blog with a readership of less than a dozen. It confuses past with present, regional with world-wide, and much more. The author clearly doesn’t understand the concept of a “tipping point”. He (,she, it) doesn’t even seem to understand that when an ice age ends, the glaciers melt.

Today, the Earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees
from the plane of its orbit around the sun.
But this tilt changes.
During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years,
the tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees.
Because this tilt changes,
the seasons as we know them can become exaggerated.
It was all those Volvos.
If those darn Volvos didn’t last so long, this would have never happened.
Yes, dear.
We are thus suppose to fear global warming more, in spite of today’s ice sheets in the northern hemisphere being only shadows of what they were when they covered most of Eurasia.
I think our age is an age where the real end of the last ice age actually takes place; leaving a greener world capable of feeding a larger population.
Whoa. What caused that?
Fracking.

Just imagine how many archeological sites are under water on the Continental Shelves. But, I don’t need to tell you that, Civ.
I don’t see how that could be true - they didn’t even have SUVs millions of years ago. /s
Periods of rising continental ice sheets are a Glacial, and periods of melting ice sheets/warming are Interglacial.
We are currently in the Holocene Interglacial. And it isn't the warmest since it started. The Holocene Climatic Optimum was around 5,000 years ago, which corresponds to 3000 BC–500 BC.
Each maximum has been followed by an "interglacial" warm period like the one we've experienced for the past 13K years or so. It seems hard for humans to grasp the concept of deep time. We're just newcomers to this very old Earth.
And that was in addition to the build-up of the Eurasian ice cream sheet!
