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,

Yet we've only had industrialisation for a couple of hundred (of years)
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).
Right... ...so you freely admit that climate change has been going on forever. Yet somehow this time it's all down to man's activities on the planet - like it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been burning fossil fuels.

It's a crock. Either you're too stupid to realise that or you're part of the oppressive system taking advantage of people's stupidity and pushing it for population control purposes. End of discussion.

Oh, and at this point I believe you're actually the former, since you make non-literate additions to posts. "A couple of hundred of years"? I can only assume that this illiteracy seeps into your perception of whatever facts about climate change it is that you read.
