That's not quite true, red. If the entire planet was ice, it would reflect enough sunlight to stay ice forever. That's why glaciation is a nonlinear albedo effect. More glaciation, more reflection, and vice-versa.

If the glaciers start retreating, it gets warmer. Last time in Lake Louise, I couldn't believe how far the glacier had retreated. Used to come right down to the edge of the lake.

We had nothing to do with that? Sunspots follow an approximately 11 year cycle, so does climate, too?
