We are still in said ice age. Our human time scales have a hard time reconciling this, but we are in one of the "warmer" parts of the current ice age.

For those wondering, it's an ice age because both poles are ice bound. We're working on it though.

Imagine if industrialisation happened during a warm time, even now on the edge of an ice age we have hit all time records for heat and tripped tipping points that have been stable since the last interglacial. We'd already been screwed if we had been in a warmer period, as it is we're just sure to be screwed without some new technology
