Ooops, I'm slipping on my standards: <very sensible, preliminarily, upon first read> Usually a cursory glance while speed-reading is sufficient to get a snort of derision from you. I'll have to reduce my quality control.

Back to the "Omigod we are all Global Warming to DEATH - what about our grandchildren?"

I had a bit of a preliminary poke around and it took a bit to get past the last 400,000 years to see what has really happened in Earth's climate. No mention of subduction, limestone, oceanic sediment, carbon graveyards, stripping of the carbon from the ecosphere ... etc. Those things have perhaps escaped the attention of the "scientists" who have studied Global Warming in such detail and got a huge industry going.

But I did find this in a reputable url. ngdc.noaa.gov I'll do more digging.

<The transient Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum at 55 mya and the more robust Early Eocene climatic optimum around 52 mya were caused by elevated greenhouse gas levels. The warming of the planet such anomalies as palm trees in Alaska and crocodiles in the Arctic. Mammals, including the lemurs which are early ancestors of primates thrive, migrating to Europe and the Americas from Asia around this time (Beard, 2002).

Around 34 million years ago, the Antarctic ice sheet began to form,>

It looks as though Earth has survived VERY much warmer conditions than now. Palm trees in Alaska eh? Crocodiles in the Arctic. No snow in Antarctica. I think I might like a re-run of those times.
