The planet is 5 billion years old, give or take. We have records of planetary climate for about 135 years. We are attempting to base our ideas of planetary climate on those 135 years. What percenage is 135 years out of 5 billion? Trying to figure out climate like that is like trying to figure out what happened in all of 2014 by just looking at what happenec on December 31st at 11:59 and 59.99 seconds only. Good luck with that.

Ice core and tree ring studies (and geology and historical facts such as ice age periodicity and late first millennium wine production in Britain) extend the time frame for study back by tens and even hundreds of thousands of years. Unfortunately for the Cultists all of that perspective blows away their little theories about mankind’s ability to affect the global climate. Then again, they’re equally blind to actual historic temperature records and the evidence of their own senses. They’re capable of becoming stuck in Arctic summertime sea ice and simultaneously insisting that what’s gripping their ship somehow cannot exist. In other words, they’re nuts.
