Without starting a giant flame war (too late?), could someone please explain the following data from two ice-core samples:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/metadata/noaa-icecore-2475.html
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/metadata/noaa-icecore-2453.html

This data is referenced in the following article, which claims global warming cannot be man-made:

I would love for someone to explain either; why the data is wrong, or how it could be misconstrued.

Please please please, no name calling. I'm uninterested in shouting matches, and am only after logical argument.

I'm 100% behind that concept. Give it a go for just one week, things become a lot simpler. "Complicated" issues which you think you have to lie about or hide, become so simple when you bring them to the surface unabashedly.

Sorry I know I'm on a terribly high horse at the moment, but I feel my balance is good :)

I've never understood that argument. Are you scared of what Google will do with all the data they have on you? If so, then I think the only thing you have to go on is their past actions, and that doesn't ring any alarm bells for me.

Avoiding Starbucks, Google, Microsoft, whoever simply because they are "big" is a little superstitious, don't you think? I avoid Facebook and Microsoft not simply because they're big, but because they play dirty (and in the case of Facebook, their privacy policy).

Big != evil
