I don’t think Ice Ages that is continental glaciations had exactly the same temperatures.

They used to say that the ice age hasn’t ended, we’re just in a temporary lull. The gulf stream is taking warm water from the equator and moving it north. When that stalls, Europe and North America will freeze again. But now we must worry about man-made global warming because the politicians needs a scare tactic to help win votes.

It’s still said by people ho know something about earth science. We are currently in a warming lull of the he Quaternary period (2.58 million years ago to the present). A period characterized by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets.

YOU cannot make this stuff up.
But yup, THEY can.
Because...science.
And of course, one NEVER hears the plethora of articles out there written by real scientists that refute pretty much everything that the press (e.g. clueless journalism majors) touts.

As opposed t o a cold ice age, aka Snowball Earth - the entire planet frozen

Of course change can be permanent.

The earth’s land surface used to be universally dry, with all water molecules suspended in the atmosphere as vapor. At some point, the atmosphere was unable to hold all of eatrh’s water molecujles as vapor and the oceans began to fill with wate in a liquid state, and later as glacial ice.

That was a permanent change.

The details of how much water the oceans and glaciers hold, does keep changing as you noted. That the earth’s land was no longer universally dry everywhere, but that liquid and frozen water existed all over the earth surface, was a permanent change that has never been reversed.

Didn’t we have a Warm Ice Age back in the 1970s? Fifteen years of “the coming ice age” propaganda. And those years were HOT in summer and COLD in winter!

The coming ice age talk from the 70s was the first thing I thought of.

Ooooh, nice find! I wonder if these guys perished in 79 AD during the eruption, or in the quake in 62 AD (which in modern retrospect, was part of the process that culminated in the eruption)?

Since water freezes at 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C, where exactly does “warm ice age” fall??

Think of a refrigerator making ice: the kitchen gets warmer as the water in the ice cube trays get colder. The refrigerator's heat pump efficiently moves energy from one small part of the kitchen to another. The Earth is similar, with wind blown evaporated water serving as a moving refrigerant.

An energy efficient method to manage the climate is easy: make ice in the polar regions. Ocean saltwater freezes at anything below 28F, which is normally the case there, the reason for such little life. By pumping seawater up a bit higher than the surface, it will freeze. This will: cool the oceans, lower the sea levels, make vast amounts of fresh water via cryo-desalination, and cause Earth's spin to stop slowing.

The ice can be formed into giant buildings, castles, domes, computer rooms, glacier-sized statues of Donald Trump, or even freshwater cargo ships with giant fixed sails made of ice.

I attest: no recreational pharmaceuticals were consumed in the making of this post.
