re: If the warming has stopped how come October was the warmest on record?

You mean to tell me that in roughly 100 years, less than .00000002% of the Earth's lifespan, we have managed to damage it beyond repair?

The incredible hubris of these people is staggering.

That we can actually, significant adjust the climate - either negligently or intentionally.

We can pollute the $hit out of it (and CO2 isn't a pollutant), but I have no delusions about setting the Earth's thermostat to a nice, comfortable, year-round temperature any time soon.

You really believe this?

humans raised the C02 concentrations from 300 to 400 ppm in 55 years, that last time Earth had ppm that high was 800k years ago....additionally it took 7000 years for Earth to naturally do it thru volcanism and various other factors.

Again we did it in 55 years.

The climate's response lag will eventually catch up, it is inevitable.

The temp will rise over the next century to two centuries, there is nothing we can do about that. and the Earth's ecosystems will adapt. Those changes will include species extinctions across the globe, including keystone species like coral, starvation and displacement for perhaps a billion people in coastal areas, agribelts will move further north and shrink in size and deserts will grow at the equator.

That is what I mean by damage has been done.
