Narrowly scoped, the present situation is either strictly caused by solar variations (in which case I believe the «solar variation» crowd will inappropriately gain credibility over the next 10 to 20 years as we work through the next below
average solar cycle or two), or strictly caused by CO2 concentrations (in which case I believe the «CO2 concentrations» crowd will inappropriately lose credibility as the non-linear relationship (sensitivity is
based on doublings, not linear increases) between increased CO2 concentrations, and forecasts for below
average solar cycles reduces the longer term upward trend in
global temperatures).
As far as this historic period is concerned, the reconstruction of past
temperatures based on deep boreholes in deep permafrost is one of the best past
temperature proxies we have (for the
global regions with permafrost — polar regions and mountainous regions)-- as a signal of
average temperatures it's even more accurate than historic direct measurements of the air
temperature, since the earth's upper crust acts as a near perfect conservator of past
temperatures — given that no water circulation takes place, which is precisely the case in permafrost where by definition the water is frozen.

«Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century's developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally

based on T Ave.. So instead of blindly quoting nonsense, I actually try to verify using all the data that is available.

Based on current knowledge, however, it appears that achieving a high probability of limiting
global average temperature rise to 2C will require that the increase in greenhouse - gas concentrations as well as all the other warming and cooling influences
