The earth moves in milankovitch cycles around the sun which are a mayor contributor to warming and cooling cycles.

The ice core data shows also that increases in CO2 concentration followed after the temperature rose first which could correspond to the milankovitch cycles. The greenhouse effect takes places which leads to faster temperatures rises and humans are definitely contribution to that, which might already have changed how the world will look in the future.

Could youn link me to the record temperature rising right now in the last 100 million years please?

Yes, and that is extremely well-known. As are solar cycles. We have a pretty solid understanding of the natural cycles affecting climate. That's how we're able to assess humankind's impact on climate change above and beyond the natural variation.


We also well know that CO2 is released with rising temperatures in different systems and absorbed with falling temperatures. As mentioned before the ice core data shows exacly this a release of CO2 after a temperature increase. One could argue that it's a false correlation between temperature and CO2 especially since we talk about a concentration of 0.04% CO2 in the atmosphere. But that are just talking points I don't know the answers but seemingly you know the truth and ignore a conversation.


It's demonstrated in a very digestible manner in this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1732/
