No, it's not. Stop spreading false information.

Graph is from NOAA ice core data.
What's false?

He's actually correct on both points. Just look at any source for global temperature over the past million years. Eg. Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record

It's not that simple. The graphs you are pointing at do not include the last century, and even if - they are tracing temperature by a proxy: bentic foraminifers dO16/O18. They are organisms living in the oceans, not necessarily in equilibrium (=synchronized) with atmospheric O and a proxy for average global temperatures. They are good indicators for general trends, so to understand the range of temperatures in a given period, but for very short periods of time they are unable to provide a measure of the rate of change. +3 degrees in a million year is manageable by many species,+3° in a century it isn't.

That doesn't stop it being true. If the temperature is even higher than the million year record, we're still at a peak.

temperature is not a concern, Life can exists in a relative large range of temperatures. The problem is the speed of temperature rise, that is incompatible with the speed some species can migrate from now-hostile areas. Dinosaurs didn't died because the asteroid hit their
head, but because of the abrupt climate change triggered by it. The key word is "abrupt" not "change".

"The warming" we're currently experiencing is not natural. That we're coming out of an ice age doesn't matter for the warming we've been experiencing in the last hundred years.

What's it got to do with the last 100 years? We're talking about a 100,000 year temperature cycle and Greenland's melting cycle which started before humans influenced it so it wasn't caused by humans. I think all you people replying to me think I'm a global warming denier but you can't argue with what I've said because I'm right so you're just saying random facts instead.

The assertion that no one can argue with what you've said poisons the well and isn't particularly well-suited to a discussion board. If the whole of your argument is just linking to a Wikipedia article with your arms crossed in satisfaction, I suggest visiting https://skepticalscience.com/heading-into-new-little-ice-age...
