Just curious---thousands of years ago there was 2 mile thick ice on the property I own here in western Washington. Since this no longer is the case, doesn't it appear we have been in a global warming situation since way before the industrial revolution. Could we blame this whole thing starting on the original inhabitants of earth?

Probably not due to our Bedrock ancestors driving Stone Utility Vehicles, or herds of mammoths belching and breaking wind.

If by "original inhabitants" you mean phytoplankton, they probably helped cause some big ice ages:

No, the recent and rapid rise in temperature is driven by the recent
rise (and rapid) rise in CO2 in the atmosphere, due to the Industrial
Revolution. The original inhabitants are blameless.

Please give us a clue as to the contribution of volcanoes and how we can
mitigate their effects.

Volcanoes contribute less than 1% the amount the fossil fuels contribute.

I don't think there is anything that can be done directly to prevent
volcanic emissions, so mitigation would require "carbon capture" of some
sort, such vegetation, or man-made systems like those being developed
for that fossil fuel power plants.

Still curious what caused the ice to melt. Any estimate as to when I can start a banana plantation here in SW Washington state? Also, kind of looking forward to launching my Electro 2 from Chehalis and routinely finding good lift immediately so I can soar the Cascades all day and return without running out of battery.
