"But of course, in the year 1850 all that old data became meaningless because Man triggered the Industrial Revolution." There you go, Taro. That is a straw man. I never said it was meaningless. It, of course, has meaning. And it even has bearing. Because it is pretty clear that adding CO2 does magnify an otherwise subtle warming. It is just erroneous to assume that just because *some* of the other warming cycles didn't start with a CO2 increase, that no warming cycle can start with a CO2 increase. That isn't logic. That is looking for "gotchas". "And now Man decides to force mother earth to stay cool within 2 degrees, right?" I don't know what you are trying to say here, so I can't evaluate it. "25 years from now people will laugh their ass off and wonder, what made our 'informed' generation believe in such vodoo nonsense." I agree. Believing that increasing the concentration of a greenhouse gas doesn't increase the greenhouse effect is sort of silly. But there you are.
