Oct was warmer then has been since 1903... we didn't have cars emissions in the 1903.
Fact: CO2 does absolutely accelerate warming. It's very easy to see with 10 minutes and a mass spectrometer that CO2 has a positive reflection correlation with IR and Far IR wavelengths. Also, the internal combustion engine automobile was created in 1885 and officially on the public market by 1888.
You are 100% correct on everything else in your post however
I agree Co2 accelerates warming, deff not debating that at all.
I understand that there are many mitigating variables that contribute to our own local climates, but I don't feel that the overwhelming trend is deniable. Yes, our planet does go through a cycle every several (tens of thousand) years, but I sometimes strongly resent people who attempt to lessen the severity of our current crisis by attributing these effects to lesser causes. Seems like we're only putting off the inevitable.
