The transition to a greenhouse planet was due to plate tectonics which isolated the polar regions from the warmer marine currents and the rise of the Himalayan mountains which altered weather circulation patterns and the rise of the Panama isthmus which altered ocean circulation patterns.

Conditions which still exist today.

CO2 – the major cause of global warming​

CO2 emissions are the major cause of global warming

Global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases . 72% of the totally emitted greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), 18% Methane and 9% Nitrous oxide (NOx). Carbon dioxide emissions therefore are the most important cause of global warming. Recent investigations have shown that...

Repeat after me... there is no empirical evidence that CO2 causes climate changes. None, nada, zip.

I don't know who trained you to parrot that, but you might wish to acquire a megaphone and educate NOAA, among other institutions. Carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in at least the past 800,000 years.

Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mostly because of the fossil fuels that people are burning for energy. Fossil fuels like coal and oil contain carbon that plants pulled out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis over the span of many millions of years; we are returning that carbon to the atmosphere in just a few hundred years. According to State of the Climate in 2019 from NOAA and the American Meteorological Society,

From 1850 to 2018, 440 ± 20 Pg C (1 Pg C = 10¹⁵ g C) were emitted as CO₂ from fossil fuel burning (Friedlingstein et al. 2019). For 2018 alone, global fossil fuel emissions reached 10 ± 0.5 Pg C yr−1 for the first time in history (Friedlingstein et al. 2019). About half of the CO₂ emitted since 1850 remains in the atmosphere. The rest of it has partially dissolved in the world’s oceans… . While the terrestrial biosphere is currently also a sink for fossil fuel CO₂, the cumulative emissions of CO₂ from land use changes such as deforestation cancel terrestrial uptake over the 1850–2018 period (Friedlingstein et al. 2019).

Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

In the past 60 years, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased 100 times faster than it did during the end of the last ice age.

The southern polar region is more susceptible to extensive continental glaciation than the northern polar region because the southern polar region has a continent parked over it whereas the northern polar region has an ocean parked over it which is largely land locked.

So both polar regions are isolated from warmer marine currents but the southern polar region is more so isolated from warmer marine currents than the northern polar region.

But it's the northern hemisphere which determines the climate of the planet during this ice age because it has a higher threshold for glaciation than the southern hemisphere.

• 
  American Medical Association​
  "Our AMA ... supports the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fourth assessment report and concurs with the scientific consensus that the Earth is undergoing adverse global climate change and that anthropogenic contributions are significant." (2019)6​
• 
  American Meteorological Society​
  "Research has found a human influence on the climate of the past several decades ... The IPCC (2013), USGCRP (2017), and USGCRP (2018) indicate that it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-twentieth century." (2019)7​
• 
  American Physical Society​
  "Earth's changing climate is a critical issue and poses the risk of significant environmental, social and economic disruptions around the globe.

Human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s (IPCC, 2013)." (2015)9​

SCIENCE ACADEMIES​

International Academies: Joint Statement​

"Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities (IPCC 2001)." (2005, 11 international science academies)10​

  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change​
  “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.”13
  
  “Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.”14​
