I'm sorry - and, yes, I'm going to be a prick about this - that's what you're saying NOW. You starting this saying that we couldn't make any such statements because our data set was only 150 years old. Then you asked about thermometers from thousands of years ago. You can't have it both ways: you can't tell us the research that tells us about ancient trends supports is useless to support one position and then cite it later as support for yours. The two are mutually exclusive: if we can determine that the trend is ancient and natural then we can also determine that human activity may be having an impact. Alternatively if the paucity of our data set cannot support human activity as affective then it also cannot support ancient natural causes. Again - I'm not arguing for either position here: I'm arguing that the arguments being made are weak and contradictory.
