The biggest similarity between them is how they changed, or, in the greenhouse effect's case, will change the environment. The one major thing in the environmental change is the climate. While the Ice Age decreased the climate and the greenhouse effect' will increase the average temperature, they both impact the overall temperature. With the change in climate comes changes in the surface area. For the Ice Age, a great amount of the ocean was frozen into huge sheets of ice, or glaciers, therefore lowering the sea level. Along with this change came much more rainfall than usual, which transformed some formerly desert regions into areas able to produce plant life and maintain wildlife.
