Exactly.
Today is irrelevant, as is a few decades.

can you show me? recall we are considering "industrial age" contributions here.

GW alarmists are looking at the industrial age contributions, because it neatly fits their beliefs.
It's cherry picking on a gross scale.
Look further back, not even that far, and you'll see similar steep increases in temperature.

500,000 years? that's where you are headed with this?

That's where everyone should be heading if they wish to discuss global changes on a massive timescale.
Today is irrelevant, remember ?
We're talking about periodically recurring events with a frequency of 100,000 to 125,000 years.
400,000 - 450,000 years only show us 4 full periods, and the warm start of the 5th.
