“Certainly over time scales of hundreds to thousands of years, we are more concerned with anthropogenic effects on climate, as the Earth heats up in response to emissions of carbon dioxide. But only time will tell where the Earth’s climate will drift over millions of years.”

1) Temps. seem to rise about 800 years BEFORE the CO2 levels rise.

2) Regardless, manmade CO2 only accounts for about 0.118% of the greenhouse effect.

3) The last interglacial warm period lasted about 13,000 to 15,000 years. We are on about year 12,000 for our current warm period. (Note: Past results are no guarantees of future events.)
