Show what? That we've had interglacial and glacial cycles for the last 2.54 Million years (OK, not all of that is from Ice), and that the last nine have been ~100,000 years apart or so (The last 8 or so captured by ice cores)?

Yup.

Do they also show that the rate of warming in the last couple of centuries is higher than any in the ice cores? And that it has been correlated with a host of other proxies back 10's of thousands of years? Yup.

Read two-mile time machine (Alley) Raven and the Longest Thaw (Archer), I think you'd enjoy it (sincere response, can be tough to convey I'm not being a wiseass). or anyone else for that matter. Also check out the skeptical environmentalist for a view of the other side.....

RRH, as I've posted before being a 747 taking off gives off the same pollution
as 10,000 cars starting their engines. That's a lot of pollution in itself.
Then with the sun certainly feeling hotter on the skin, common sense tells me something is happening, and maybe man may have something to do with it.

But what % of the change do the scientists think should be attributed to man vs natural changes?

Interesting read. I just put the first paragraph, rest is at the link below.

FWIW, it's about to snow. uh-oh, no more global warming.

Cold winter in a world of warming?

From: RealClimate: Cold winter in a world of warming?

Last June, during the International Polar Year conference, James Overland suggested that there are more cold and snowy winters to come. He argued that the exceptionally cold snowy 2009-2010 winter in Europe had a connection with the loss of sea-ice in the Arctic. The cold winters were associated with a persistent ‘blocking event’, bringing in cold air over Europe from the north and the east.
