And as I pointed out current data indicates that the heat is going up, an effect that seems to be new.
Should we take the risk and act like it is all going away if we don't look? Or should we, for example, try to reduce CO2, a gas of which we know it raises the temperature.

You are still assuming you know what was going on prior to 5 million years ago with no data to back up the assertions. And you are still assuming that the assumptions that give you data beyond 200 years are correct.
What makes you (or anyone else) think that decreasing CO2 20 years sooner will have any impact whatsoever in the "fight" against global warming? It's all pure speculation. How do you propose to institute CO2 caps on rapidly developing countries like China who can't possibly adopt "cleaner" technologies and still industrialize?
