I'm saying the scale of your graphs conveniently obfuscates the last million years and the statement that the current CO2 levels (about 400 ppm) "which is about as low as its ever been" is very misleading. Actually it's as high as it's been in quite awhile.

"During the last 800,000 years, CO2 fluctuated between about 180 ppm during the ice ages and 280 ppm during the interglacial warm periods" - http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/news/2013/CO2400.html

The fact is that I'm not a climate scientist and I doubt that you are either. I rely on people more knowledgeable in those areas than I am to figure out what is really going on. Of that group of people, it's pretty easy to determine that Nasif Nahle has questionable qualifications and is probably not the best source of information regarding climate.
