>>Glaciation waxed and waned a number of times during the Pleistocene. I expect no changes in habit just because humans are in the way of it now.<<

We disagree on that point. I think human activity is powerful, and can potentially amplify or override global climate trends. There's a theory that human-caused global warming has already prevented the onset of a new ice age, which seems plausible to me. Maybe we already saved the polar bears, or at least postponed their extinction.
