Sharp warming and cooling trends are recorded in ice cores tens of thousands of years before the human species even existed to walk this Earth, and the pattern of warming and cooling since the end of the last Ice Age has been short sharp spikes in temperature and CO2 followed by longer and greater cold periods that could be characterized as mini-ice ages followed by a period of relative temperature stability. The overall trend from the earliest available core data to now indicates a geologically gradual global cooling in line with the planet very slowly shedding the heat of it's original formation, and the decay and exhaustion of radioactive isotopes within it.
>>11230260Not to mention that that 90% figure often quoted is extraordinarily disingenuous, drawing it's number by including literally any published work that even mentions the word Earth, climate, temperature, carbon, etc, completely ignoring whether or not that material is actually in a relevant field. Less than half of the figure is actually accredited climatologists and while the majority do believe some form of AGW is occurring it's more like 60-70%, so still hotly contested. Would be more accurate to say that 60% of 47% of scientists quoted in the figure agree.
