Do you know anything about Earth's history? Even recently?
The Sahara Desert was a green lush grassland where people hunted roaming animals and grew crops a few thousand years ago for instance.
And why don't you read about The Medieval Warm Period? It was caused by increased solar activity, less volcanic activity, and ocean circulation.
Mankind didn't have a damn thing to do with it. And it came upon the Earth relatively FAST. And lasted from about 950 to 1250 AD
And then...BOOM. The "Little Ice Age" kicked in. 1350 AD to about 1850. Came upon us fast.
And since 1850 guess what the Earth is doing?
WARMING BACK UP FROM THE LITTLE ICE AGE.
Didn't you pay any attention in school EVER. Or have you ever thought about googling topics instead of just googling your beliefs to find articles that only agree with your view?
EDIT: By the way, I was in New Orleans last May for the Internext Show. The Gulf waters HAVE recovered. Also my brother is a fishing Captain in Florida on the Gulf Of Mexico.
Come down from Canada and open your eyes and see for yourself.

Robbie you do this all the time.. you throw out examples which fit your agenda but never look at the full picture.. The Earth's climate doesn't just change rapidly with out a "cause".
The Medieval Warm Period, You claim it was due to increased solar activity and less volcanic activity. We don't know for certain what caused it but lets say you are right.. lets say it's cause was more solar activity and less volcanic activity. Well gues what that is a "cause" the effect was a warming period. However it wasn't as warm as it is right now. In fact for the last 25 years our current climate has been higher than MWP.
You throw out the little ice age.. It didn't just get cold for no reason. They can't say for 100% what caused the little Ice age but the leading theory was several large volcano eruptions which took place in the tropic. It could have also been a meteor strike or excessive solar flares..
One thing is certain there was a "cause" and the effect was a rapid onset of a mini ice age. It didn't just happen "because".
Now this brings me to my point.. Right now we have no excessive solar activity, we have normal volcanic activity. Yet the Earth is warming at a very fast pace and it's not just happening "because". It's not just "happening" There is a cause.. That cause is "greenhouse gasses".
I mean seriously it's like you put half the context into your theories with out looking at the full picture.. Issac Newton said.. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. He was talking about physics but it's much the same..
It doesn't get hot or cold just "because". There is "ALWAYS" a reason.
