I have not seen any evidence that proves uneqivocally that the climate change we are experiencing is from natural climate change or as a result of cars and factories. This is something I have stated time and time again in this thread and in others.
However, I will state that the evidence which you suggested I look up points to the fact that we are in a 'warming trend' (though, based on previous cycles it seems like we may be near the end of that trend) in that natural cycle.
