He's talking about the supposed ~ 60 year natural cycle over a benign recovery from the little ice age, as slightly influenced by mankind's emissions.

So, I tend to believe the new results, they confirm what has been shown by several other studies — human - caused CO2 has a large enough effect lasting long enough that it will greatly affect the natural ice - age cycling — but I'll listen to Peter, Andre and the others with great interest, and I don't think this is the last word on exactly what CO2 level is needed for exactly what orbital configuration for ice - age initiation.

Where is the evidence of some other natural forcing, like the Milankovich cycles that controlled the ice ages (a fine historical example of a dramatic and regular climate cycle that can be read in the ice core records taken both in Greenland and in the Antarctic)?

Lots of climate scientists have tried to work out the climate response — the «feedbacks» — from all kinds of different phenomena — El Nino cycles, natural variation, volcanic eruptions, the ice ages..

The global surface temperature increase since about 1860 corresponds to a recovery from the Little Ice Age, modulated by natural ocean and atmosphere cycles, without need for additional forcing by greenhouse gases.

What caused the little ice age if it wasn't a natural cycle?

In no way can my summary of the research regarding the impact of regional climate change on the Viking civilization and Europe during the Little Ice Age be used to «prove» the current global warming is due to a natural cycle.»

The concept of a little ice age is in itself contentious, with sceptics of human - caused global warming citing it as evidence climate goes through natural cycles.

In preparation for that program and using the results of Figures 4.4 and 4.5 of the report published on the website of The Right Climate Stuff Research Team: http://www.therightclimatestuff.com/BoundingClimateSensitivityForRegDecisions.pdf, I concluded that if one believes there has been no continued natural warming since 1850 from the approx. 1000 year period natural climate cycle that brought us the Roman Warm Period, The Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age, then the carefully worded IPCC AR5 report claim that most of the global warming since 1950 is due to human causes, is TRUE.
