We have only been able to detect/observe these occurances for the last xx years, when the planet is 4,5xx,xxx,xxx years old. So yes, it may be the most in recorded history, but it could also be the least in earth history.

Another idea I had a couple years ago is that the whole planet is on a slight wobble as it orbits the sun. This wobble might being us 1,000 miles closer to the sun, 1,000 farther or whatever, over the course of XX,XXX years. We would not have been able to detect such movement as we have only been able to measure such distances using lasers for xx years, so it would only be a couple hundered feet closer/farther which would be undetectabe by our measurment technologies.

But who knows...the gravity of the moon and it's orbit may be pulling us slightly farther away for a couple thousand years, till the Suns gravity pulls us closer when the moon loses it's grip? The moon definatly has gravitational effects on the earth, as seen in the Tides...so this seems possible. Unlikely, but possible...

But even if global warming isn't being entirely caused by mankind, I see no reason not to change our ways anyway. More fuel effecient cars, stricter emmission laws, more recycling, more renewable energy such as wind or solar, LED light bulbs , and so on. Even if it wont change climate at all, it will still freshen the air up.
