#2 About every 100,000 years, great ice-age ending periods of global warming have made the Earth temporarily more habitable for life. The Earth currently is involved in the most recent of these 100,000-year periods.

These people need to read their own sentences. The ice-age ending periods known as inter-glacials tend to last 10- to 15-thousand years. We are currently involved in one of these interglacial periods - at the tail end of one as a matter of fact - not one of the 100-thousand year glacial periods.

#3 The reason is that an adventitious confluence of circumstances over the last 5,000 years has, for the first time, allowed an advanced form of civilization to emerge on Planet Earth.

As opposed to Planet Q'onoS.

This might have happened a million years ago (but did not).

By Homo erectus, presumably. Though this might have been difficult considering what we believe to be their limited capacity for speech and that the first non-controversial evidence for the controlled use of fire would have to wait another 700-hundred thousand years. It is not all about the weather.
