The long term historical record

One problem with the human caused global warming is the very narrow focus on extremely recent history. This site, however, gives a graph of climate change over the last 2 billion years - a rather longer period of time than the usual one or two hundred years discussed in the current literature.

Clearly this graph shows periods in Earth's climate history when things were a good deal hotter and a good deal cooler than they are now.
