it doesn't answer whether the warming isn't part of the typical cyclical trends in the climate, how much human input has changed that trend (is it significant as far as causing consequences?), do we understand enough about warming trends to say it can or should be changed, and do we know if trying to change climate trends will not have even worse, unknown adverse consequences? All excellent questions. I wasn't looking for additional information on this issue but am reading Fernand Braudel's Mediterranean and in the chapter on the development of agriculture he goes into some of these questions as they pertain to the history of mankind in the Pleistocene. He talks about stuff like the rise and fall of sea level, droughts and wet periods, and of course mankind wasn't affecting climate at that stage (at least I don't see how). I hate to talk about these issues in the context of political bashing, but am fascinated by the science. The ice core data sure looks cyclical to me. I think those are J curves! en.wikipedia.org
