But back to business,where did the heat come from to melt the 2 mile thick layer of ice which covered our backyards until 15k years or so ago? Was it from folks burning charcoal? mammoths farting methane into the blue yonder? volcanoes?
This post is inane, and it covers ground that you have been corrected on in this forum already.

Perhaps you think that the world's climate scientists don't know about ice ages?

For this trolling post you have chosen to forget that current greenhouse gas concentrations are much higher than they get to in the ice age cycle.

In fact the difference between the coldest part of an ice age, and the warmest part of an interglacial is about how much CO2 concentrations are above what they reach at the height of an interglacial.



Current CO2 concentration is about 385 ppm
