Let me turn that back on. You claim that the last 100 years is not out of bounds and yet you show me no data to prove that it is not. I have seen charts that show the rate of change, in other words acceleration, in CO2 ppm. At no point in the hundreds of thousands of years records we have from ice cores, has atmospheric CO2 content accelerated as fast as it has within the last 50 years. That is an astounding finding. Why is it accelerating? Is it because someone has manipulated the data? Maybe. With all the recent press, I wouldn't rule that out. But let's say the ice core data has not been manipulated for a second. What conclusion would you draw if you knew that CO2 content is accelerating faster in the last 50 years than at any time in the last 800 thousand years? Would you still say, nothing different is happening? Or like a real scientist, would you look for causes?
