What caused the climate to change and warm up and melt away the Ice Age?

The earth's axis shifted at that time.
I do not know. And also I do not know how that is relevant.

It's amazing that people think we can just continue this way without severe ramifications.
Think about the timeframe since the Industrial Revolution. Think about how much habitat we have lost in that very short period of time. How much coastline, how many species, how much arable farmland, how many waterways.
We can be kind of a sad, shortsighted species. There are intelligent people out there who can improve things, but they don't have much power right now. Even the allocation for climate change in the BBB bill is pretty token.

When weather is excessively cold, we're told weather is not climate. When weather is excessively warm, it's an example of global warming. Ok.

By whom?
I don't see anyone who knows anything saying that. Climate change is all about extremes.

Exactly. There are always people like Sailor would screech about it being a weather and not a climate.
A climate is an average of weather in an area over a period of time. When you observe weathers changing and moving consistently across different areas, it is clear that the climate is shifting.
Black kitty, please. When unusually cold weather happens your side of the aisle "screehes about" weather not being climate.
When the cold weather is unusual and persists, it may be due to climate warming.
It is a dynamic. The Earth keeps trying to correct itself.
If no area has had their climate description reclassified in the last 150 years or so then "climate change" is a misnomer. Which makes "climate crisis" laughable.

Conservatives always seem to go for some sort of "gotcha" instead of actually talking about the problem. Like going back to early in COVID when Fauci wasn't recommending masks early on - the whole debate about masks became that, instead of whether they work or not.
They always go back to when scientists were predicting an ice age, or some other argument made in the past. As though that delegitimizes all of science.

Are you referring to the Industrial Revolution?
Gore made this a central issue in 2000. Somehow Oilman Bush got elected. By the way, I'm in New Orleans and it's 84 degrees outside. Doesn't really feel like December 29th here.

A single data point is irrelevant in statistics. My point in showing the above is the absurdity of the OP. So what if there was a record-breaking day in Alaska for warm weather? It proves nothing on its own.
What caused that? Wasn't man! ..In any way
It started to shift in 1995...so what caused that? I guess man did

So, because man didn't cause the end of the last ice age - he's not causing anything now?
Honestly, I can't even really argue this seriously. This goes well beyond AGW. What we do & how we do it is simply not sustainable for the long term. And we don't really have anywhere else to go after we waste this planet.
Government bullshit reason to tax etc
Man had nothing to do with the Climate Change during the Ice Age, and not now
What caused the Medieval Warm Period?
What caused all the drastic changes in climate before 1970 back 10k years?
What caused The city of Dwarka, that was discovered submerged some 100-feet below the Gulf of Cambay in 1988. Ancient structures, pillars, grids of a city, and ancient artifacts were found. To be covered in water?
What caused the city of Pavlopetri to be flooded with water 5000 years ago? If that happened now u would blame man made climate change

Fools would think that an erupting volcano is not proof of molten magma below the surface.

Texas sharpshooter fallacy. What do volcanic eruptions--as a mechanism--have to do with Gorebal Warming and the weather? Only a fool would use such an idiotic analogy to explain something unrelated to it and expect their argument to stand. The Texas sharpshooter fallacy started when you proclaimed that a single data point was proof of Gorebal Warming. I countered with a second example to show how absurd that is. Now you come up with something totally unrelated as a red herring to try and recover. It won't work.
