Some would argue it's a natural cycle and not especially caused by humans. Other comments in this thread allude to something similar happening in medieval times

Some would be making stuff up and ignoring what scientists have been telling us.

You mean, like that CO2 lags not leads temperature change?

Not at all. It is true that CO2 has never led temperature change before; that's because the massive anthropogenic CO2 spike in the data is completely unprecedented, so we don't know what happens when CO2 increases massively "on its own".

Climate scientists try to figure out whether this could affect global climate, and many say it can and probably is. This latter thing is what is being ignored.

Anonymous comments on a social website are about the flimsiest form of evidence I can imagine. Anonymous comments alluding to something is a complete waste of time. Please cite something substantial or cite nothing at all and share your own opinion.
