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.

Yes, dear.
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.
