1. There may well have been times in the past when there was quick warming, and when it accelerated. The point is that the IPCC model of whats happening specifically suggested that something like this would happen, and it did. How else do you test a theory, other than by looking for falsifiable predictions? A few months ago I predicted August would be our warmest month... and I was right, yippee... Why doesn't this happen in June when the sun is furthest north? Because the higher latitudes need time to absorb heat and retain it even as the sun heads for the equator. This is undoubtedly true as the sun cycles between 21.5 and 24.5 degrees, we're at ~23.5 now heading for the minimum, i.e., its the middle of August in our year, and in our Milankovich cycle.
