Oh, missed this very good link: http://www.climatedata.info/Proxy/Proxy/icecores.html - the big take-away here is Figure 5 - once you got a fit like that, you can then pretty safely use the CO2 concentration to predict temperature. Then you just get the annual worldwide consumption of fossil fuels, use that to figure out what the CO2 concentration will be in 2050, and from that you can make a damned good guess how warm Greenland and Miami are going to be.
