Okay, but even IF the temperature of the lower atmosphere is rising, how could this prove that it's not just Mother Nature doing whatever she feels like?

We've had ice ages, so it only stands to reason that we'd have "anti-ice" ages as well.

12000 years ago this place where I sit had a mile thick ice cover. The average annual temperature here was obviously 32 Deg F, or less. It is now 52 Deg F. Clearly there is "global warming". It must be that Mother Nature anticipated I would buy an SUV and just started the SUV caused warming a little early.
