Doesn't their data show a dramatic rise in CO2 levels in the past 100 years compared to the 70,000 years before that. Can you see all the things man has introduced in the last 100 years that emit CO2 into the atmosphere like cars and factories and cow farts and furthering the balance by things like deforestation. None of which existed the 70,000 years before that.

Simply put, the earth progressed for millions of years and went through it's cycle of changes. In the last 100 years mankind became industrialized and in doing so introduced things to the environment that has a very good chance of destroying it.

If we built enough buildings that did nothing but pump CO2 into the atmosphere I'm sure that ALL scientists would agree that would soon make the planet uninhabitable. There are things all around us now that emit CO2. The question is just how much can we get away with. Hopefully credible science will find the answer in time.

My gripe is some people just pass this off as being cyclical.
