Exactly! What impeccable logic! Humph! A couple hundred years worth of samples to draw inferences from. Geez. Give me something significant.
Nah, of course not Cath. Just you look after yourself missy, no need to worry about future generations. What a waste of time. Anyway, as your well researched conclusion says, it's all bunk.
I'm not sure that's true. We actually have a very detailed record of the temperatures and atmospheric composition over the last 1000 years from dendrochronology and ice core samples and a reasonable amount of data for up to 10000 years. The last 30 years have shown the biggest rise in temperatures for the last 1000 years.
