As we are still in an ice age which began 2.6 million years ago I presume you mean "glaciation".

The overall average temperature has risen otherwise we would be sitting on 1km thickness of ice.

Temperature change tends to vary depending on which part of the earth you look at, 4-6 degrees C in East Africa and 2-3 degrees in higher latitudes. Areas receiving rainfall during times of glaciation are now quite dry as the weather systems move with the retreating ice.
