ABOVE -- Graph of temp over 400,000 years
BELOW -- The MSM friendly, commonly used, version, only showing the last 2,000 years and the 'hockey stick' ending. Total misrepresentation.
"Global Warming" is actually due to the tilt of the Earth which varies from 22.5 degrees to about 24 degrees. Its why we have seasons, and some times of the year have 24hr darkness in some places. Anyway, the overall cycle from min to max angle takes 40,000 and every 'ice age' is a multiple of 40,000 of earlier ones. At least the 7 recorded ones currently. Not every 40,000 does it swap (sometimes 'thaws' are skipped until next rotation).
Point is... the Global Warming that does exists, is WAY beyond our control, and on the order of tens of thousands of years. Media and biased reporting always just culls the data set way to narrowly to make their PoV 'true'

Oh yeah, and the data shows that the 'ice ages' are getting longer. There are more cycles where the 'thaw' does not happen and is missed. Extending the 'ice age' another round.
Now its nothing we are doing because we are basing it on the last 7 freeze/thaw cycles (which go back 400,000 years), but technically Earth is currently in one of the 'hotter' cycles, and should be expected to start cool in a few thousand years if nature takes it course. (This is why the Envrio-whackos get all confused with 'global warming' and 'global cooling')

Wow, those graphs are a keeper! Looks like we've had highs and lows every 10,000 years for over 400,000 years! Then that little graph below only shows the trend for the last 1000. Those rascals, but why water down the issue of Global Warming and CO2 emissions with FACTS!

Judging from that 400,000 year graph we would seem to be on the verge of another ice age instead of tropical age. We are about at the apex of the other global warming ages.

Interesting...
It does seem to show a strong correlation between temperature increases and CO2 levels, but I guess it's one of those "Chicken and egg" things...Anyone have any insight into why the correlation?
