But that then gives rise, again, to the question; "what is the proper temperature for the planet?"

Sorry and with all due respect, but that is total rubbish. There is no 'proper' temperature for the planet. The planet gives a rat's ass about its temperature. We as a species, don't, or shouldn't, because large parts of our civilization pretty much depend on more or less the temperature we have now.

My point exactly!!

You are the only person to ever answer this question. And you understood the question quite well as well. You are correct there is no way we can know the answer to that question.

I do disagree with you last bit though. Perhaps the use of the word "depend" is a bit to strong.
