The warming trends of the past before the little ice age were not NEARLY as high as the ones we currently have

And how can you deduce that? Are there in detail records about ancient weather cycles? Or is this returning to the very fallacious reasoning I rebuffed at the start of this debate? Even if you had tangible data about the distant past, the warming trends would "not [be] NEARLY as high" because the earth was already considerably warmer than it is now, and how do we not know the warming trends weren't this high at the start of that period of normality that came before the Little Ice Age? Do you honestly know what you're talking about, or this what CNN has told you?
