Basically how it works is that eventually once it gets hot enough, it creates a feeback loop because it will melt the icecaps quickly.
The icecaps have a ton of greenhouse gases trapped inside them along with water vapor itself just being a greenhouse gas.
So the feedback loop should be pretty apparent. Hot weather melts icecaps, which releases tons of greenhouse gases into the air, which melts icecaps, repeat until no more icecaps.
This is essentially how it was thought natural warming periods came about.
