The current warming trend cannot be a result of CO2 emissions.

We have already experienced a similar warming trend during the Middle Ages--an event known as the Little Climate Optimum. We experienced a warming trend of roughly 4-7 degrees Fahrenheit--the same amount we expect for the current increase.

I may be a bit rusty on my history, but I'm fairly certain that people rode around on horses, not SUVs. So unless there was an ungodly amount of equine emissions, I'd say that it's safe to assume that CO2 was not to blame for the LCO. Should we believe that the current trend is completely unrelated?
Bzzzt, the so called Medieval warming period is not actually true. Please select from a variety of temperature reconstructions to see that you've been mislead. Next please!
