This paper has helped reinforce my evaluation of climate science as young and incomplete in many ways.

The results reported in Hönisch et al. (see Change In Ice Ages Not Caused By CO2), along with the almost off hand remark regarding CO2 and sea-level in this paper, also support the conclusion that carbon dioxide is simply not a primary driver of climate change. Not that any climate scientists who support the IPCC conclusions will admit that. They continue to shout “CO2 causes dangerous global warming” even as they provide evidence proving CO2 isn't up to the job.
