Temperature is believed to have been fairly stable over the few thousand years before 1850. The Little Ice Age is believed to have been only a regional fluctuation and not global.
We have increased atmospheric CO2 levels from about 315 to 385 ppm since 1960. And more worrying is the projection for the year 2100 as high as 970 ppm. How could this not affect climate?
