Ummm, dude - the whole article says that the climate change cycle has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. Yet we've only had industrialisation for a couple of hundred. Therefore, it's not caused by man's industrial activities or the burning of fossil fuel. Period.
Uumm dude or should that be duh! or doh! for you - Tell me something new. You are completely incorrect, as I said in my earlier reply, the ‘cycle’ has been going on for all of the generally accepted 4.6 Billion years of earths history, and will continue for millions more.

Consult a geology book!!

What we are talking about is here & now.

Yep,

my addition in bold.

But the whole point of that is in that period, a blink of an eye in geological terms, we’ve ‘burned’ fossil fuels that represent the saved energy of the sun of many ‘millions’ of years.

Once again, I challenge you cut & paste the relevant statements from the article that make you deduce 'GW is a man made crock…’ ( s**t or gold or what).
