You think it is?

Explain this:
gcrio.org
Look at the figures in there. About 1200 AD there was a peak in a long term rise (hundreds of years) well above present levels. Why? There were no cars and steam engines spewing out "greenhouse fases." Then it plunged into the "Little Ice Age" which another warming trend is pulling is out of.

Look at other figures. You'll see cycles like this 10,000 years ago, 100, 000 years ago, 1,000,000 years ago. Men didn't exist then. Certainly not technology. Why are you getting these broad temperature variations?

After you're ready to explain this (assume you want to lay this on man), tell me why the current rise is due to human activity and yet larger variations happened in the past that clearly could not be.
