Could it be that the warming from 1850 onward is what helped the industrial revolution to take hold? Once people were freed from the constant struggle for sustenance and survival, they had the time and opportunity to turn their endeavors toward other things? Just as with the warmists juxtaposition of cause and effect re. warming and CO2?
Oh yeah. Warming things up did help improve conditions from survival to being able to thrive. It’s already been established by the anti-AGW climate scientists that CO2 production lags behind warming and cooling trends by several hundred or more years.
I think the warming trend since 1850 has contributed significantly to how the modern industrial revolution has proceeded since that time. Now we have a bunch of Leftists in power who want to take us back to pre-industrial times...with good intentions, of course.
