The common name given to the atmospheric gases used in breathing and photosynthesis is air. Dry air contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide,
Again, do the math. According to your chart, methane levels should be dropping not Increasing to levels never seen before. Try reading the links in the Op and make a comment on the information presented.

Spraying chemicals in the atmosphere to block the Sun. Average temperatures are decreasing, NASA just released a study showing that CO2 actually is a cooling influence on global temperatures and not warming, reflecting a huge percentage of the Sun's energy back into space. Maybe someone wants to freeze billions of people to death? That is where we are headed.. ICE AGE, not a greenhouse.

Um, the flooding isn't supposed to happen until the Antarctic glaciers melt, on the other side of the planet from the Arctic Ocean.
Ocean rises where expected in a hundred years, but we could start seeing a serious rise in sea levels within a decade.edit on 5-5-2013 by poet1b because: Auto correct hassles

The Arctic is melting says scientist
A mysterious warming of the Arctic climate is slowly manifesting itself, said Dr Haas Ahlmann,
Swedish geophysicist at the University of California yesterday. If the Antarctic ice regions and the major Greenland icecap should reduce at the rate of the present melting, he said, the oceanic surfaces would rise to catastrophic proportions.
People living in the lowlands along the shores would be inundated. Temperatures in the Arctic had increased 10deg fahrenheit...

The huge warming of the Arctic that started in the early 1920s and lasted for almost two decades is one of the most spectacular climate events of the twentieth century. During the peak period 1930–40, the annually averaged temperature anomaly for the area 608–908N amounted to some 1.78C. Whether this event is an example of an internal climate mode or is externally forced, such as by enhanced solar effects, is presently under debate. This study suggests that natural variability is a likely cause, with reduced sea ice cover being crucial for the warming.

Change at this rate has only happened once, and that is when there was a massive impact of a comet or something that large.

Swan, perhaps then you can explain why the polar ice is melting. If the earth has not increased in temperature why is the ice melting?
