The climate of the planet has been changing over time since it cooled from molten rock. It was generaly warmer with higher oxygen when dinosaurs roamed the earth, cooled and warmed again over several ice ages. Realize though that the temperate at any one place goes up or down depending on season and weather, so they are talking annual averages. While this graph of temperature goes up and down alot (a lot of variability) the trend overall is upwards. The concern now is that the planet seems to be warming faster then in any othe time, faster then animals or plants can adapt. Also, many fear the weather will become not just warmer, but erratic. If weather is totally unpredictable, farmers won't know when to plant crops, and world wide famine could happen.

What came first the ice age or larger mammals?
Adaptation usually follows changes in climate.
What was the geography and climate in the old stone age?
Very similars to todays, there has been no significant changes.
What would you learn about a log by counting the varves?

What climate changes caused the extinction of the saber-toothed tiger?
Most likely, the end of the last ice age.
What kinds of problem did stone age peoples?

Why do geologists and glaciologists study the Ice Age?
Geologists and glaciologists study the Ice Age to understand past climate patterns, changes in Earth's surface, and the effects of ice sheets on landscapes. This research helps scientists predict future climate changes and understand how glaciers and ice sheets impact global sea levels.
Was there a meteorite that hit earth and caused the Ice Age?
There is a hypothesis that a meteorite impact could have contributed to the onset of the Ice Age by cooling the climate, but this theory is still debated among scientists. Other factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and volcanic activity are also thought to have played a role in the onset of the Ice Age.
What is the climate like during an ice age?
During an ice age, the climate is characterized by colder temperatures, extensive ice sheets covering large portions of the Earth, and lower sea levels due to the formation of glaciers. The climate is generally drier, with reduced precipitation and changes in weather patterns. Additionally, there can be significant fluctuations in temperature and periods of rapid climate change.
How was the ice age formed?
The Ice Age was a long period of cold climate conditions where a large part of Earth's surface was covered in ice sheets and glaciers. It was primarily caused by changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt, leading to reduced summer temperatures and increased ice accumulation. Other factors such as volcanic activity and changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases also contributed to the onset and duration of the Ice Age.
How did climate changes toward the end of the last ice age improve conditions necessary to grow crops?
The temperatures went up and the growing season was increased
