As far as how coming out of an ice age works, (@ 22) a wide variety of linked processes (starting with the Milankovitch - cycle net insolation effect) are involved; so a little warming leads to a little greenhouse gas release, leading to a little more warming, leading to more releases — one interesting recent study, for example, indicates that melting of the Southern Ocean ice caused a large CO2 release from the ocean along this trajectory:
