Interglacial

No, an interglacial period is what we are in now (and the only period we can effectively survive in), the mid-way point between an Ice Age and a Green Age, or Icehouse vs. Greenhouse Earth, not the opposite.
A Greenhouse or Hothouse Earth is the period when there is no ice covering the poles. That is the opposite of an Ice Age, or Icehouse Earth.
We believe, that a Green Age is brought about naturally by a massive increase in CO2 caused by tectonic shifts and massive volcanic activity.
"Whenever earth transitions from either greenhouse or icehouse to the other, mass extinctions occur."

The best way to put this is what happened in the 1930s that was called the Dust Bowl, where no rain fell for the entire summer in the Mid West.
