So then what is the normal amount of fluctuation?

And the temperature has never changed more drastically in the history of the planet.
Also, Mars' temperature is also fluctuating as fast or faster, how can this be happening with no humans or industry on mars?

Many proponents of global warming know little science but see this latest "scare" as a very lucrative business opportunity....they will make $ regardless of the weather
...They simply need to force changes in opinion, get legislators "on board" and VIOLA! -->instant market for their "products" and a base of "convinced/ dedicated people who will donate $ for the cause and promote more demands that others comply or be fined...
..snake oil scheme deluxe plus the in-informed yet thoroughly scared/convinced followers ..works every time..

As I understand it temperatures are an important guideline to Global Warming. With surface air mixing with atmospheric changes weather becomes more erratic. The poles are melting forcing an unusual amount of water that normally would be absorbed and works with a cycle type of routine changes.
I'm not sure where u are going with the question but maybe this helps? I read NASA and NOAA reports alot. Perhaps I am not accurate but close in laymens terms. Mars is also experiencing unusual climate changes. It is pretty interesting reading.

Of course it should change but there is a healthy amount of temperature fluctuation that is expected; when the tempurature greatly exceeds the normal range of fluctuation the there is cause for worry.

The temperature will always change somewhat, but what scientist are looking at is the average temperature and the affects of the temperature increase. If the temperature wasn't increasing, glaciers wouldn't keep getting smaller and smaller.

It's sort of like if you fill up a tub full of water, there will be hot spots and cold spots in it, but the overal average temp will not change much.

It should change, and there will be warming and cooling trends as is shown by geological records. However, when the temperature rise is higher than any other point in the planets (stable atmosphere) history, and it is proportionately related to a known factor (green house gases), there is good reason to think that we caused it.

And to add to this question..

It's been much warmer in the past, as well as much cooler in the past. At which temperature level should this eternity of static temperature begin at?

It is natural for temperature to change over time - however the atmosphere is suffering irreparable damage. The weather changes we are experiencing are far too drastic.
