OK - so what caused the previous ice ages and what was the cause of them melting???
The last one was around 25,000 years ago ... what caused that one to melt?

Mastodon flatulence.
The frist SUV. Granted, it was made of sticks, twine, and leaves...
probably solar cycles that were uncharted then- or maybe they were charted
the mayans and egyptians were actually pretty sophisticated at the physical science
There was a clan of cavemen--the Al Gorestone tribe blowing a lot of hot air.
If we’re cooling without industrialization, is that not confirmation that we’re cooling (with industrial pollution output declining)?
The result is a see-saw type event ~ sometimes one child pumps harder and his end of the board dominates, then the other child gets an advantage and his end dominates. Still, the see-saw continues to, well, see-saw. Up and down, up and down, with a general trend line of "down" for a while, then "up".
We are very near one of those tipping points where the next maximum glaciation is OVERDUE and it looked like things were still warming up.
From what we know of how the interglacials end, that happens immediately after a period of maximum warmth ~ then in a few short years the ice comes back.
U of Wisconsin now says we've been holding back the ice ~ obviously we must burn more coal.
Still, looking over the fossil fuel reserves, we don't have 100,000 years worth to take us all the way through the next cycle.
Something and somebody will have to give!
