before humans were emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and even before humans were on planet Earth. Since humans were not alive during the period after the ice age (known as the post-ice age era)‚ then the heating of the Earth to melt the ice does not put humans at fault. Global warming is naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and cooling system‚ and other planets heating without human life on them. The Earth has its own greenhouse gas emission cycle‚ releasing
