The planet’s temperature changes as much as 12C on a regular basis. How can any educated person claim that a 0.65C rise is due to man? That amount is less than measurement error in the paleo data.

...occurred in the 1930's, 1950's, 1970's, 1980's...

During the past decade, not so much.
Temperatures During The Ordovician Were Above The Boiling Point Of Water | Real Science
The Obama administration tells us that an increase of 200 ppm CO2 will increase temperatures by 11F. CO2 during the Ordovician was about 4,000 ppm higher, so we can infer that temperatures at the time were well above the boiling point of water.

(4,000 / 200) * 11 = 220 degrees.
