That guide is amusing, the first paragraph for the question you linked to is blown out of the water by the OP:

Given the fact that human industrialization is unique in the history of planet earth, do we really need historical precedent for CO2-triggered climate change before we accept what we observe today? Surely it is not far-fetched that unprecedented consequences would follow from unprecedented events.

The problem is these events of C02 are not unprecedented...in fact that are less than 1/10th of what we've seen in the past.  So yes there is a legitimate argument to be made that historical precedent invalidates the theory.

Perhaps you should read up a bit yourself before you call others ignorant.

Edit: PS - The guide actually points out that C02 is driven by temperature and not the other way around as I stated above.  It then tries to assert that C02 drives climate....wth...?  The guy has the info he needs, he just concludes what he wants instead?
