yes, and solar cycles would show up in the ice core samples too. They clearly do show up as global warming and cooling cycles, represented by increased and decreased CO2 levels, all within the upper and lower control limits. However, in the last 50 years, we started to exceed on a regular basis the upper control limit. This tells us that natural causes are not the root cause. An outlier is typically defined as something with a special cause that throws the data outside the normal limits. However, now we have many data points over the last few decades that are above those control limits. That tells us that this is not a normal solar cycle or whatever caused the previous warmings. We also know that we are no closer to the sun than we were 100 or 1,000 years ago, so that can't be the cause. The most likely explanation is usually the correct one. The most likely explanation is that humans are causing C02 level increases at unprecedented levels. You have to look no farther than L.A. or Beijing to see what is happening. Open your damn eyes.
