I am not sure what you mean by this. Have there been warmer and cooler periods? Yes. Does that mean it constantly shifts? No. There are valid reasons why things have been warmer or cooler. For example, there is ample evidence that we would be deeper into a glaciation if it wasn't for the CO2 we have been pouring into the atmosphere. Unless you happen to believe that the Northern hemisphere started to warm a few decades after the Industrial Revolution started to increase the CO2 concentration due to some massive coincidence. Just like the massive coincidence of the cooling after a significant number of people were killed off by the plagues and the corresponding decrease in the clearing of trees and burning of wood and coal resulted in a drop in the CO2 of the atmosphere. Odd how these things happen...

That's what GW antagonists seem to miss......if it weren't for the introduction of large quantities of CO2, we would be deep into a cooling period where the glaciers are expanding, not contracting. And then when you point out to them that the earth may end up sharing the fate of Venus if nothing is done they simply laugh.
