Right now I'm willing to accept a 0.1-0.2 degree rise over the last 100 years, but cannot opine as to where that might fall in a much longer cyclical period, and in fact lean towards the idea that it is entirely consistent with that longer period cycle (meaning, there is no showing that this is different than pre-human times). Concerning claims of a higher 100-year rise, past methodology showing anything else has been very poor, and is being directly contradicted by newer, more reliable measurement. Concerning cyclical behavior, more recent means of measuring temp change over last 10,000 years indicate cycles of up-down that easily encompass the change demonstrated. No reliable showing of deviation from cycles, no showing of causation at all.
