Thank you for supplying further evidence to my main point that climate changes, both warming and cooling, to a far greater degree than we are currently witnessing have been taking place on this planet long before people discovered how to generate CO2 (including through breathing, i.e. the arrival of the earliest human beings).
IMHO, "ice age" is just a fancy term for "when it gets really really cold, colder than you kids can imagine!" LOL. The boulders in Central Park are likely left behind by the last ice age with glacier reaching NYC; there could have been several ice ages after that one with glacier reaching "only" Boston or Montreal. Macroscopic life on land as we know it seems to prosper much better during "inter-glacial" period; i.e. during the warming period between "when it gets really really cold." As for what causes those wild climate swings, I don't believe anything on this planet alone, like CO2 or ice/snow cap, are probable main driving forces. Solar output is not at all constant, and that change far outweighs any fringe contributing factor that originates on the planet itself (unless we are discussing living conditions for sub-terranean life forms deep inside the earth's crust). That's why, IMHO, the survival of humanity will not be dependent on our ability to preserving status quo (for there is no fixed status quo Eden), but our ability to cope with changes thrown our way.
