The concern is what happens over the next 100 years. The longer term time scales, probably driven by the Milanvovitch cycles, are not the concern. The best estimate of the anthropogenic surface temperature anomaly is about 1C. This may very well grow to 2-3C over the next 100 years. That is the concern and it is a legitimate concern for geopolitical reasons. Please stop with the strawman arguments about the next so many tens of thousands of years. That is not the concern or the focus. Also, if your focus is on the political response to the scientific data about climate change then find another audience.

The comment ... "the anthropogenic surface temperature anomaly is about 1C" ... is not proven and just wishful thinking. People keep forgetting we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age - and it's expected to continue for some time to come - regardless of what humans do.
