No, you're not thinking in geologic timescales. Geologically speaking, we're at a warm spot (but not exceptionally warm, less so than the Medieval Warm Period) in between ice ages. Cold kills crops and causes famine. If you were thinking in geological timescales you'd be worried about the fact that the heat might go away again.

And you're still cherry-picking. "The rate of increase went up dramatically in the last 30 years," you say, but it went to zero in the last ten years. It looks like a worrisome (open-ended) trend only if you cherry-pick your timescale to make it so.

I've said enough for now.
