But of course: Andrew Sullivan takes a look at the Marcott temperature reconstruction, then says "this graph shows our civilization to be unsustainable unless we dramatically alter its source of energy"

To put it mildly, I can see no external reason why the earth’s temperature would have suddenly gone haywire in the last 500 years, without factoring in carbon, capitalism and the industrial revolution. For a while, that carbon actually warmed us up out of a millennial-long cooling. But now, it’s out of control.
