First, global warming is real and accellerating. Second, the industrial and automotive revolutions just "happen" to coincide with this? Your facts are wrong. Firstly, global warming is real, but it is not accelerating. Secondly, the Earth has been in warming trend for the past 4 centuries--well before manking began emitting non-trivial amounts of CO2.
Am I reading the bottom graph correctly that seems to indicate that the sun has something to do with the earth's temperature? I also remember reading something that seemed to posit that the earth is somewhat self correcting for temperature changes. The premise was that increased temperature meant more clouds which reduced the amount of energy hitting the earth, cooling the planet a bit, and during cooling the reverse would be true. I'm not sure how accurate that idea was, given that more clouds also means that more heat cannot escape.
Yes. I also remember reading something that seemed to posit that the earth is somewhat self correcting for temperature changes.

Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff. James Burke's show "Connections" had an episode that talked about how around 1000 years ago the climate got colder, and it caused a lot of changes in house and chimney construction that led to modern society. I also think it's kind of strange given that the earth has been both warmer and cooler in the past, that we're trying to keep the earth at the temperature it is right now. I think that for most life, a little warmer works a lot better than colder.
