BTW the article states that MMGW doubters 'argue' that climate is cyclical. Of course climte has been very cyclical over the past 1,000,000 years there is no argument about this.

Well what they fail to mention is that scientists never really said we were definitely heading into another ice age. Nor do they mention that if you follow climatic cycles the Earth should actually be getting cooler right now.
Contrary to what global warming deniers would have you believe, this was actually the scientific position on the issue back in the 70s, as reported by the National Science Board:
"Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end ... leading into the next glacial age. However, it is possible, or even likely, than human interference has already altered the environment so much that the climatic pattern of the near future will follow a different path. . . "
