One of the problems is that these graphs do not reflect the current level of CO2 such as the following related graph does

One of the things misleading about that graph is the starting point of about 200 PPM.

It makes the current level of C02 seem very high at 380 PPM or so.

Well, past history shows a peak of 300 PPM even on that graph.

So were freaking out over an 80 PPM more then past few hundred thousand years of history shows?

And there are professionals that question the accuracy of the ice core data as well to begin with.

Bottom line though. There are large natural cycles that we have absolutely no control over.
