>with a start date of global warming happening pre industrial revolution, how does that jive with the theory that global warming "is" man-made and not some natural phenomenon?

>Or rather, does suggest that the earth can accommodate climate change and that attempts to control it are futile at best?

Well, Earth was an existing entity already 4 billion years ago, and indeed proved able to accommodate with very large spectrum of existential modalities. It doesn’t mean human species would thrive in Hadean climates: there’s a reason it’s called after the Hellenistic hell.
