Ice ages are rare and we're coming off the tail end of one right now, so if you picked any time at random in the last 100 million years you can be almost certain that is was warmer than now, possibly MUCH warmer; at one time Antarctica was subtropical and the home of cold blooded reptiles, yet back then the continent was only slightly further north than it is now, and northern Canada was even closer to the pole than it is now but dinosaurs lived there. in spite of the warmth the ecosystem on this planet adapted, life still existed. In fact in the last billion years it has never been warmer than during the Carboniferous Era 360 million years ago, and I don't believe life has ever been quite that plentiful again.
