That’s also my take. I think man made pollution is harming the climate. But the Earth goes in natural cycles of warming and cooling. It’s really hard to distinguish what amount is human caused or natural with the little data we have.

It's actually not difficult to differentiate, it is just a rather long and boring explanation. If you really are interested in the topic I can only recommend 'Climate Change is a Nightmare' by UpIsNotJump. It is not highly scientific and does a good job at explaining the topic in a rather short, easy to access format. It also debunks statements like 'we are just in a warmer part of the cycle' etc.

Thanks for the video. It was interesting. The carbon and temperature correlation is quite strong. From the same video though, the Earth tilts between 22-24 degrees. 24 being when the earth is warming and has the most CO2 and 22 when it’s the coldest and least CO2. If the Earth is currently at 23.5 degrees, doesn’t that mean the earth is currently in a natural warming cycle as well? Again I’m not arguing that global warming isn’t real. I am saying this is a combination of natural and manmade processes.

It has been a bit since I watched the video, but I think it stated our 23.5 degress were decreasing in the sense that we have reached the 24 some time ago and it is now decreasing again which would mean we would naturally begin cooling again.
