“Life is fragile, susceptible to reductions in population from ice ages and other forms of environmental change, infections, predation, competition from other species and for limited resources, and interactions among these forces,” says Dr. Thaler. Adds Dr. Thaler, “The similar sequence variation in many species suggests that all of animal life experiences pulses of growth and stasis or near extinction on similar time scales.”

Ice ages cause a rather dramatic environmental impact on species. Life of today is composed of those species which somehow managed to survive the last Ice Age.

Good point. But we are still in an ice age. Currently we are in an interglacial as your chart points out. Notice that the last interglacial was warmer, long before Al Gore got his fleet of carbon spewing SUVs and private jets.
