"well, it's 72 degrees here today..." That is the problem. It is hard to point at a couple of data points and say anything. And it always can be dismissed as short term fluctuations. Global climate is a very complex system, and there are some players who aren't participating right now. For example, what does it take to destabilize the clathrate deposits? Or push the drying of the bogs faster? Or have the ocean bottom water give up a large fraction of its CO2 load? Any one of those could change the chemical balance in the atmosphere in a short time, even by human standards... And clathrates are really, really unstable.
