as well as oribtal variations and they did that because it's completely
irrelevant
to current global warming. We know that CO2 has increased from 300ppm to
450ppm and
that we put about twice that amount into the atmosphere.
But nobody has a solution for excess CO2 that won't kill far far more people than
climate warming ever will, or at least environmentalists don't.
Donald McKay, withouthotair.com, has spelled out exactly what it will take and it doesn't
kill anybody and it doesn't cost anymore than a small war. In fact everybody knows what
the solutions are, it doesn't take some future discovery. It just takes the will to
demote fossil fuel to few specialized applications.
Environmentalists don't have solutions for anything because environmentalists are silly
irrational people who mix ridiculous pessimism (global warming will kill us all) with
ridiculous optimism (windmills will save us all) and who believe it's a virtue to think
with your gut and not with your brain.
And deniers are luddite morons who think we can fix global warming on short notice when it
gets a lot worse but we can't screw it up in the meantime.

It's a diversion from the fantasy that the Earth's climate has always been the same and
there is one true temperature that everything should be at.
Which is another bullshit attempt at diversion. It's completely irrelevant to whether a
4degC global temperature increase over 50yrs will cause extensive suffering, death and
economic damage. And note that 4degC increase is the projected worldwide average increase
as of 2100. The oceans tend to lag, so that corresponds to a 5 or 6degC increase over the
continents. And it doesn't mean the temperature increase goes to +4degC and then stops.
Under your do-nothing scenario it will still be rapidly increasing as it crosses through
+4degC in 2100.
