Looking at the earth's temperature variations over a hundred year period or so would be the equivalent of a person looking at their temperature variation over some immeasurably small fraction of a second and then trying to come to some conclusion about having a fever or not. This planet has gone through more than we even know and talking about fractions of degrees when we think there have be average temperature fluctuations of over 10*c is an interesting approach, but I can not throw perspective out the window.
