"Only proves how little is understood about the possible roots of the CO2 level swings. " It seems a little strange how these mechanisms seem to align with human activity. As Europe got more and more populated during the Middle Ages and most of the trees got cut and used for fuel, the climate got warmer due to totally unrelated mechanisms. When the Plague decimated the population and the trees grew back, the Little Ice Age starts, again due to totally unrelated mechanisms. As the population recovers and industrializes, the Little Ice Age ends, due to well, you know. As industrialization kicks into a high gear and dumps a lot of particulates in the atmosphere raising the albedo through cloud formation and smog, things cool off, again totally unrelated. As we develop the technologies to reduce particulate emissions and lowering the albedo, some other mechanism has kicked in for unknown reasons... I dunno, this just doesn't seem to pass Occam's Razor.
