How else you explain the melting ice caps and all the ice sheets breaking off and drifting to see.
Fact is, we don't know sh*t about the climate and the involved processes.
The earth does warm up, newest studies confirm it's 50% man made - but still, the climate could swing the other way whenever it likes.

There is no standard climate on this planet, nor was it ever normal to have both polar caps covered with ice.

Remember "Ötzi"? This guy walked over green passes in 3000m altitude. That was just 8000 years ago.
