You're admitting orbital dynamics can overcome CO2?

Tsk tsk. Oh my God, it gets much worse:

You will note on that graph that we should be starting the downhill slide to colder temps, and lower CO2 levels. Note how brief the prior peaks were, they are quite sharp. Instead, we have turned on another source of warming, and this is sufficiently great to place us on an upward trend rather than downward, with increasing CO2 levels rather than falling ones as we would expect from the historical pattern shown in the graph.

Are you claiming human CO2 increases are putting off the next ice age? In effect, this is an argument AGW is good.

My opinion has long been that to the extent we might affect the weather (and that isn't that clear that we have, despite the propaganda to the contrary) the effect, if any, is more likely to be benign than negative.
