Well for one thing, it didn't. The definition of Ice Age is a period of extensive glaciation with brief interglacials between the points of highest glaciation. By that definition we're are still in the middle of an ice age, a warm bit of one, but still in one. If we weren't in an Ice Age there would be no glacials, whatsoever.

The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?

The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.


When will the current ice age end?

The current ice age is known as the Quaternary Ice Age and is ongoing. We are currently in an interglacial period within this ice age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. It is difficult to predict when the current ice age will end as it is a natural geological process that operates on a much larger time scale than human activities.

How did the end of the ice age cool the earth?

The end of the ice age cooled the Earth by reducing the albedo effect, which is the reflection of sunlight off ice and snow. As the ice and snow melted, dark land and water surfaces absorbed more sunlight, leading to greater warming. Additionally, changes in ocean circulation patterns and greenhouse gas concentrations contributed to the cooling of the Earth after the ice age.
