That is the time we are living in. The study that graphic came from says we are hotter now than any time in the last 120,000 years.
Major studies have been done going back into geologic time—CO2 causes warming.

Quote:Australia is the world's leading exporter of coal, accounting for 54% of the global total. Australia's coal exports are driven by strong demand from Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, India, and Taiwan. Australia's coal exports are also supported by its proximity to key markets, good infrastructure, and supplier reliability.
Japan, South Korea, India, and Taiwan get cheap power from burning coal, Australians will use expensive renewables to reduce the CO2 output by 2% while the coal industry rakes in $127bil a year providing cheap power to our economic competitors.
