Unfortunately for policymakers and the public,
while the basic science pointing to a rising human influence on climate is clear, many of the most important questions will remain surrounded by deep complexity and uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular places (what
global warming
means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).
While the local, seasonal climate forcing by the Milankovitch cycles is large (of the order 30 W / m2), the net forcing provided by Milankovitch is close to zero in the

global -
mean temperature change.

The one slightly fortuitous aspect to this is that the forcing from CO2 alone is around 1.5 W / m2,
while if you add up all of the forcings, including warming factors (like CO2 and CH4) and cooling factors (like aerosols), you end up with a total around 1.6 W / m2 — i.e. all of the extra stuff we've put in over the years pretty much cancels out in the
global mean.
