  "all global proxy reconstructions agree it is warmer now, and the temperature is rising faster now, than at any time in the last one or even two thousand years"

  Hmmm...  I don't think my post made it the first time. Try #2.

  The argument "CO2 was acting as a "feedback" over the time period in the figure above" has always seemed very weak to me.  It appears like someone was struggling for a way to get CO2 into the forcing side of the equation and this is what they came up with.  The graph makes much more sense to me if the CO2 changes are mainly a response to the temperature changes.

  These guys  shoot some holes in the Milankovitch insolation theory and present another hypothesis that seems just as plausible as what you describe above.
