Apparently even the parts of Britain that were not covered with ice were
unfit for Human habitation up until about 10,000 years ago

I'd have been ok. The ice sheet that covered most of Britain stopped about
15 miles north of here, in Finchley.

Marnie,
If it hadn't been for the glaciers retreating, my 1/4 acre
here in Chicago would be under 1,000 feet of ice. Somitmes
change is good to us, sometimes not so much. Just ask the
dinosaurs...

With all these glaciers melting I'm hoping one day someone
will find
a frozen Neanderthal - that would almost make it worthwhile.

==============
Oceans warm up as glaciers disappear. As oceans warm up, the air
warms, and there is more climate change. As there is more climate
change some places get hotter, dryer, and some get wetter, colder.
Too many degrees of change in one direction or another
leads to deforestation and desertification.
Too much change leads to areas that were once arable becoming less
arable or unarable. The end result is they are fewer areas
that can
grow food. Less food for the world's population.
But I presume you actually know all that. Or my drastic
simplification of it.
