Don't these people realize the climate of the Earth was most stable during
the time of the dinosaurs? Our planet went for hundreds of millions of
years with no ice ages and there was 1000 times more biomatter in the
biosystem than there is today with 1000s more species.
If people want to take the carbon back out, all they need to do is send
another comet into Earth's atmosphere. If I had my way, we would double
carbon production in hopes of putting a permanent end to the present Ice
Age.

This may be true but our ecosystems are under pressure and depleted in
terms of species both producer and consumers. A depleted system mich
respond with massive infestation of marine "weeds" with impacts on both
the natural ecosystem and the fishing industry.
There are good arguments that some of the dating is wrong for most
deposits and fossils. The stability in that case would only be an
illisionary product of massivily distorted dating. It is always safer
to assume a system is unstable and act accordingly that to assume it's
stable and die having discovered your error.
