But what it says is that since 1750, carbon dioxide has increased 104 parts per MILLION in out atmosphere!
It has gone from 280 ppm from the pre-industrial era to 387 ppm today!
We're talking 387 parts of CO2 out of 1,000,000! (.41 hundredths of one percent)
I'm sorry, but until I see more scientific evidence, corroborated by A LOT of people in the scientific industry, who's main subject has to do with the atmosphere on a global scale, can I believe that I mere rise of 104 PARTS PER MILLION is going to cause the whole planet to get warmer.

You call 38.27% increase "a mere rise?"
The human body temp is slightly below 37 Celsius. If your body temp rises by 38.27%, up to 51 degree Celsius, you are dead.

The January-February 2007 year-to-date map of temperature anomalies shows the presence of warmer than average temperatures across almost all land areas.

I don't know how many people read the OP's article, but here's a little tid-bit from it!
The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam
The Keeling curve showed a steady rise in CO2 in atmosphere during the period since oil and coal were discovered and used by man. As of today, carbon dioxide has increased from 215 to 385 parts per million. But, despite the increases, it is still only a trace gas in the atmosphere. While the increase is real, the percentage of the atmosphere that is CO2 remains tiny, about .41 hundredths of one percent.
...
Should we keep looking for cleaner/alternative energy sources, of course!
But as far as a rise of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere of 104 parts per million causing the whole earths temperature to rise, I'm still VERY skeptical!

No, we are talking 38.21% increase in CO2 level in the atmosphere since the pre-industrial age. (Note that the folks at that time didn't have the means to measure the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. So why not to point out that fact out and get that "man-made global warming hoax" closer to the mental asylum?)

Whether or not one wishes to see the reality of a situation is irrelevent. reality remains. Not everything is a conspiracy. Some things should be so obvious that a fool could recognize them. But then again, we are Americans. Alot of us seem to lean toward paranoia. Perhaps from living in a artificial EMF field most of our lives. I always read about your fears of looseing your freedom. Do you even understand what freedom is? If you want to be free stop useing fossil fuel. Sure your 5MPG monster 4 wheel drive truck wont run but you would be able to walk places it could'nt go. You would'nt be able to crank the heat up in your 5000 sq ft to home to 80 degrees, but you would be able to loose those unwanted pounds chopping wood. I'm sorry but anyone who fails to see that we are screwing up our planet is an idiot and rather self focused. If you cant see it just keep feeding the machine to the doom of us all. For those interested in a future past your death I advocate walking away from the mess and returning to the land. Remember we dont own the earth we belong to it.
