Over significant (read: non-anthropocentric) timescales, that "new Climate" line will be oscillating around like a wobbly jelly, displaying period variations in variance AND mean, back and forth, in an almost chaotic periodicity that is the product of hundreds of regular, and many irregular separate wave-functions. We still don't have a way of predicting all but a few of the simpler ones. I'm not saying don't go ahead and act as if manmade CO2 directly affects one of these periodicities adversely, but it's a crap-shoot, and the odds are not in our favor that either the cycles are controllable, predictable, or care one hoot whether the environment suits us or not.
In short - just don't be a prick about it either way.
