I like this graph a lot. What on earth were our ancestors upto causing that level of CO2 I don't know. Some might see a pattern in that graph. There are lots of contradictory graphs and such.

This issue isn't new though. I was actually going to bring this up. I have just finished Crichton's "State Of Fear" book, and this issue was mentioned in there, and I was getting around to righting a good review in that "What are you reading thread".

Could be carbon sinks letting out their supplies, interesting graph though.
