I know you keep misrepresenting the "sun turning on" thing (when you should probably be talking about the cyclicality of world temperatures due to orbital and tilt/axis wobble variations, although I suppose solar output variations could play a factor), but why do you think the earth started warming back when there were mere hundreds of thousands of hunter-gatherer humans worldwide?
Obviously there are natural causes to global warming. Humans could not have done that.
The "land bridge" between Alaska and Siberia was over a thousand miles wide, such that the continents were fully one, and to call it a "bridge" is kind of silly. But the oceans started rising back then...when the mile of ice over Chicago began to melt. England and Ireland used to be a part of mainland Europe...all before any appreciable presence of human campfires could have caused any changes in sea level.
So, we know there are natural causes to 99% of the global warming that has occurred in the past 18,000 years.
And, we know that the earth was this warm before, and then got gold, and then got warm, and then got cold.... I don't know if the sun is responsible for it all, but you seem to like that explanation. Personally, I think the revolutional and rotational variations of the earth over long periods of time make more sense, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
Why do you think the earth has been getting warmer since the last ice age about 18,000yrs ago?
