"Argentina's Upsala Glacier was once the biggest in South America, but it is now disappearing at a rate of 200 metres per year."

This may be a stupid question, but haven't the glaciers been gradually disappearing since the end of the ice age?

We are probably in a warming cycle, as we are coming off a very cool period. There is very little (read no) evidence global warming can be influenced by man.

Also, biological systems balance CO2 content in the atmosphere by growing more plants. There are more things rotting, farting, respirating and decomposing causing CO2 emissions than autos etc.

The ocean also takes up CO2 by the ton and it turns into CaCO3 eventually. This propaganda about a gas that is necessary for life on Earth is rather bizarre.

Yes, they are supposed to. Unless one believes that the sun and atmosphere are static and will remain constant forever.
