Just because that happened that time doesn't mean it always happens that way. As a matter of fact we know for a fact that this time the CO2 rise preceeded the warming.
Firstly, the presence of CO2 in the air at high levels for 15,000 years while the temp was plunging into a new glaciation shows CO2 has no causal effect on temperature. But hey, if the facts don't fit then out with that inconvenient shit!
Secondly, we know for a fact that the CO2 rise preceded the warming??? This is from the Harvard research article you cited: Fossil fuel burning had a minor role until the mid-twentieth century So, bullshit on CO2 rose first.
Minor role doesn't mean no role. CO2 is a GHG that is a fact. To deny that fact is to deny all of physics and chemistry. Are you really doing that?

You're denying that fossil fuels are in excess of 300 million years old?
Nope. But you didn't say fossil fuels. You said CO2 came from a source sequestered yatta, yatta.
Where do you think the carbon came from? Burning fossil fuels which have been out of the biosphere for more than 300 million years.

Where did I ever write settled science? Skeptics who are always wrong aren't skeptics. The fact that denialists all have connections to the old energy industries is simple fact and just as relevant as pointing out that the people who claimed tobacco did not cause cancer were in the employ of the tobacco industry.
Look at your first two sentences. You deny settled science and then you claim the sceptics are always wrong [8|]
And the sceptics ALL have connections to old energy? Silly ass statement you cannot prove.
You need to learn to read for comprehension. I wrote that skeptics that are always wrong aren't skeptics not that skeptics are always wrong. There is a significant difference.
As to the denialists all being in the employ of the old energy industries I invite you to find a scientist involved in climate research who denies GW who isn't in the employ of the old energy industries.

So no response besides hand waves?
What other response can there be to your hysteria about Germany and China owning the future clean fuel industries when the major issue in alarmist AGW is that there will be no future. *waves the other hand.
You really have no idea what you're talking about I guess.
People concerned about AGW are not claiming it will sterilize the planet of all life or even likely kill all of humanity, although that is possible, but that it will cause our culture to collapse.
