The temperature fluctuates naturally. There was a mini ice age in Europe a few centuries ago. That is why I mentioned that in addition to man-made causes, there might be other causes of global warming such as the precession of the Earth. The Earth is not a sphere, it has a slight ellipse, so that as it precesses along its orbit around the sun, the cross section that is exposed to sunlight changes. I am no expert, but I think that could change the climate.
