And could not. Long ways to go looking at chart.

Nice chart but maybe needs some context.

Apes and humans did not exist 50,000,000 years ago when the earth was much warmer. Apes and gorillas appeared somewhere around 10,000,000 years ago and humans around 550,000 years ago. It is impossible to tell from this graph just what the temperature was at 550,000 years ago but it was clearly well into the blue range.

So sure, the earth has been much warmer, but man wasn't around to see it. I'm all for trying new things but warming the earth to prehistoric temperatures just to see what will happen doesn't seem like a good idea.
