We need to put more CO2 into the air and stop this coming ice age.We better hurry or we will freeze to death.
You don't understand, global warming will result in an ice age. Glaciation requires snowfall at the poles. Significant polar snowfall requires temperature moderation. Increased greenhouse gasses lead to global warming and result in polar temperature moderation. So, ironically, global warming precipitates an ice age.

Now explain how all the hot (ok, cold) spells ages ago were caused by man and the need for an auto ban. )

An Ice Age is a glacial episode where significant portions of the earth are covered in ice sheets. Glaciation results from the build up of snowfall. It snows and snows. Snow piles up and piles up and piles up. As snow continues to pile up, it compresses and pushes out at its base. The kind of intense snowfall required for glaciation is not possible without warmer temperatures at the poles. The extremely cold polar temperatures of the past 10,000 years or so have prevented this kind of snowfall. Precipitation is dependent on moisture being present in the air. Extremely cold polar temperatures mean very little moisture is present arctic air and thus little arctic snowfall is possible.

That's another matter not included in my previous posts. That said, my understanding is the oceans are the most significant reducers of atmospheric CO2, with CO2 consuming ocean plants and algae being responsible for the majority of CO2 reduction and O2 production. Debating the factors responsible for decreased presence of CO2 consuming ocean plants and algae is not something that I intended to take on. This process is addressed in a mechanism called the "carbon cycle". I suppose that you could google it if you wanted.
I felt that it was important to point out the counter-intuitive reality of conditions leading to glaciation and set out to do so. If I've failed in my explanation that would certainly be up for debate and within the scope of my comments. Government regulations and the root cause of climate change is outside of this scope.
Only 19 ice ages would seem to suggest a young Earth, no? Not billions of years, but only thousands.
Ice ages are typically extended periods of time lasting millions of years. There have been at least 5 major ice ages, lasting from 2 million years to over 300 million years. These "little ice ages" are another matter.

Only 19 LITTLE Ice Ages that they have been able to map with ice cores and other geological data.
Remember, the "theory" is that the Earth was much hotter for eons before cooling down enough to support life.
