Here, the idiocy practically oozes off you. You can't comprehend that it's IRRELEVANT what percentage humans produce compared to nature. ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT. What matters is that there was a somewhat stable cycle which had a somewhat set amount of carbon interacting with this cycle, and we caused an imbalance to these natural cycles. The ocean and trees can only produce take in so much CO2 each year, hence the rising atmospheric levels, ignoramus.

More than 3,000,000 underwater volcanoes!
In 2007, oceanographers Hillier and Watts surveyed 201,055 submarine volcanoes. “From this they concluded an astounding total of 3,477,403 submarine volcanoes must reasonably exist worldwide,” said this article by John O’Sullivan.
Hillier and Watts “based this finding on the earlier and well-respected observations of Earth and Planetary Sciences specialist, Batiza (1982) who found that at least 4 per cent of seamounts are active volcanoes.”
According to Batiza’s survey, the Pacific mid-plate alone contains an incredible 22,000 to 55,000 underwater volcanoes, with at least 2,000 of them considered active.
Thinking that anyone could know exactly how many volcanoes lurk beneath the surface of the ocean is ludicrous, of course. But that 3,477,403 number, coming from two well-respected oceanographers, does reinforce my point rather nicely, namely, that underwater volcanoes are heating the seas.

Is the solar system entering a nearby interstellar cloud
Vidal-Madjar, A.; Laurent, C.; Bruston, P.; Audouze, J.
Astrophysical Journal, Part 1, vol. 223, July 15, 1978, p. 589-600.
Observations indicating a hydrogen density gradient in the vicinity of the solar system are reviewed, particularly observations of an anisotropy in the far-UV flux around 950 A from the brightest and closest O and B stars as well as a variation in the local D/H ratio along the lines of sight to Alpha Cen and Alpha Aur. Possible mechanisms that may strongly affect the observed D/H ratio on a very small scale are considered, selected radiation pressure is proposed as the most likely mechanism for deuterium separation, and it is shown that this mechanism would be effective only if the density gradient of the nearby interstellar medium has remained stable for at least about 10 million years. This time scale is taken to imply the existence of a nearby (less than 2 pc distant) interstellar cloud. Observational arguments in favor of such a cloud are presented, and implications of the presence of a nearby cloud are discussed, including possible changes in terrestrial climate. It is suggested that the postulated interstellar cloud should encounter the solar system at some unspecified time in the 'near' future and might have a drastic influence on terrestrial climate in the next 10,000 years.

Ribbon at Edge of Our Solar System: Will the Sun Enter a Million-Degree Cloud of Interstellar Gas?
ScienceDaily (May 24, 2010) — Is the Sun going to enter a million-degree galactic cloud of interstellar gas soon?
Scientists from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Southwest Research Institute, and Boston University suggest that the ribbon of enhanced emissions of energetic neutral atoms, discovered last year by the NASA Small Explorer satellite IBEX, could be explained by a geometric effect coming up because of the approach of the Sun to the boundary between the Local Cloud of interstellar gas and another cloud of a very hot gas called the Local Bubble. If this hypothesis is correct, IBEX is catching matter from a hot neighboring interstellar cloud, which the Sun might enter in a hundred years.

The Sun traveling through the Galaxy happens to cross at the present time a blob of gas about ten light-years across, with a temperature of 6-7 thousand degrees kelvin. This so-called Local Interstellar Cloud is immersed in a much larger expanse of a million-degree hot gas, named the Local Bubble. The energetic neutral atoms (ENA) are generated by charge exchange at the interface between the two gaseous media. ENA can be observed provided the Sun is close enough to the interface. The apparent Ribbon of ENA discovered by the IBEX satellite can be explained by a geometric effect: one observes many more ENA by looking along a line-of-sight almost tangent to the interface than by looking in the perpendicular direction.

Our solar system may be headed for an encounter with a dense cloud of interstellar matter
Our solar system may be headed for an encounter with a dense cloud of interstellar matter–gas and dust–that could have substantial implications for our solar systems interplanetary environment, according to University of Chicago astrophysicist Priscilla Frisch. The good news is that it probably won’t happen for 50,000 years. Frisch presented the results of her research Monday, June 10, at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Madison, Wisc.
Frisch has been investigating the interstellar gas in the local neighborhood of our solar system, which is called the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM). This interstellar gas is within 100 light years of the Sun. The Sun has a trajectory through space, and for most of the last five million years, said Frisch, it has been moving through a region of space between the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy that is almost devoid of matter. Only recently, within the last few thousand years, she estimates, the Sun has been traveling through a relatively low-density interstellar cloud.
“This cloud, although low density on average, has a tremendous amount of structure to it,” Frisch said. “And it is not inconsistent with our data that the Sun may eventually encounter a portion of the cloud that is a million times denser than what we’re in now.”
Frisch believes the interstellar cloud through which we’re traveling is a relatively narrow band of dust and gas that lies in a superbubble shell expanding outward from an active star-formation region called the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. “When this superbubble expanded around these stars, it expanded much farther into the region of our galaxy between the spiral arms, where our sun lies, because the density is very low,” Frisch said. “It didn’t expand very far in the direction parallel to the spiral arms because it ran into very dense molecular clouds.”

World’s Largest Scientific Society Rejects Man-Made Climate Fears
WORLD’S LARGEST SCIENCE GROUP REJECTING MAN-MADE CLIMATE FEARS
By Marc Morano
July 31, 2009
NewsWithViews.com
An outpouring of skeptical scientists who are members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are revolting against the group’s editor-in-chief — with some demanding he be removed — after an editorial appeared claiming “the science of anthropogenic climate change is becoming increasingly well established.”
The editorial claimed the “consensus” view was growing “increasingly difficult to challenge, despite the efforts of diehard climate-change deniers.” The editor now admits he is “startled” by the negative reaction from the group’s scientific members. The American Chemical Society bills itself as the “world’s largest scientific society.”
The June 22, 2009 editorial in Chemical and Engineering News by editor in chief Rudy Baum, is facing widespread blowback and condemnation from American Chemical Society member scientists. Baum concluded his editorial by stating that “deniers” are attempting to “derail meaningful efforts to respond to global climate change.”
Dozens of letters were published on July 27, 2009 castigating Baum, with some scientists calling for his replacement as editor-in-chief.
The editorial was met with a swift, passionate and scientific rebuke from Baum’s colleagues. Virtually all of the letters published on July 27 in castigated Baum’s climate science views. Scientists rebuked Baum’s use of the word “deniers” because of the terms “association with Holocaust deniers.” In addition, the scientists called Baum’s editorial: “disgusting”; “a disgrace”; “filled with misinformation”; “unworthy of a scientific periodical” and “pap.”

50 NASA Scientists Against Global Warming
James Delingpole · Apr 11 at 1:40am
Science is not a numbers game. As Einstein said when Hitler commissioned a pamphlet called 100 Scientists Against Einstein: "If I were wrong, one would have been enough." (H/T Marc Morano)
Nonetheless, I think we should all be quietly encouraged by the recent letter by 50 former NASA astronauts, engineers and scientists protesting at the way their once-great institution has been prostituting its name in order to promote the great man-made global warming scam.
The letter says:
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) refrain from including unproven remarks in public releases and websites. We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.
The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASA’s history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements.
As former NASA employees, we feel that NASA’s advocacy of an extreme position, prior to a thorough study of the possible overwhelming impact of natural climate drivers is inappropriate. We request that NASA refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases and websites on this subject. At risk is damage to the exemplary reputation of NASA, NASA’s current or former scientists and employees, and even the reputation of science itself.
The charge transfer between the highly charged plasma ions and the neutral atoms generates X-ray emission. We assume a typical abundance of heavy ions for the Local Bubble plasma and estimate the X-ray emissivity due to charge exchange from the interface between the cold neutral cloud and the hot plasma.
We study the influence of heat conduction within the plasma on the interaction between a cloud and the plasma. We consider the extreme case and assume that hot plasma electrons instantly heat the plasma in the interaction region and that plasma flow can be described as isothermal.
Absorption line studies seem to suggest that, by coincidence, the
heliosphere is just now passing through the transition zone – possibly a shock transition –
between the “Local Interstellar Cloud” and “Cloud G”
Relative velocities of potentially interacting clouds are often
supersonic, consistent with heating, turbulent, and metal-depletion properties.
Cloud-cloud collisions may be responsible for the filamentary morphologies found
in ∼1/3 of LISM clouds,

The mantle conducts electricity due to the amount of iron etc in it. Even water conducts electricity with enough dissolved ions in it. But liquids (even very viscous ones such as the mantle) are not magnetic because (strong)magnetism requires an alignment of molecules which can only be provided by a solid.
Yes, the outer mantle is very conductive.
www.sciencedaily.com...
ScienceDaily (Dec. 4, 2008) — Researchers from INSU-CNRS, working with chemists at a CNRS research unit, have explained that the high conductivity of the Earth’s upper mantle is due to molten carbonates. They demonstrated the very high conductivity of this form of carbon.
But also the inner mantle is conductive, cause of the pressure acting upon it.
www.zmescience.com...
it appears that a mineral called Wustite (FeO), believed to be a significant component of the Earth’s mantle, can be made to conduct electricity at high temperatures and pressures.
The very lower part of the mantle is liquid.
www.ucl.ac.uk...
Thermodynamics of silicate liquids in the deep Earth
The predicted melting temperature of MgSiO3 perovskite at
136 GPa is 5400±600 K, which if lowered by freezing point depression by 1300 K, yields a mantle solidus
temperature of 4100 K, identical to recent estimates of the temperature at the base of the mantle. We argue
on this basis that partial melting at the base of the mantle is plausible.
But that liquid layer is also conductive.
www.sciencedirect.com...
This observation, combined with previous measurements of the conductivity of olivine (A. Duba, H.C. Heard and R. Schock, 1974) make it possible to state with reasonable confidence that melts occurring within the mantle will be more conductive by 3–4 orders of magnitude than their refractory residues. Potential applications to geothermometry are discussed.
In terms of the very weak magnetic field which the interstellar cloud would have, there is no way this could or would affect the mantle. This would be akin to a child's horseshoe magnetic causing a volcano to erupt. Magnetic fields can and do effect interstellar gas/plasma such as in early stars simply due to the low density of such entities.
Magnetism cannot cause Earthquakes, and any magnet actually capable of doing so would have long since sucked every piece of iron off the planet deep into space.
Here`s s.th. about magnetic reconnection between plasmas, even through far distances:
en.wikipedia.org...
Magnetic reconnection is a physical process in highly conducting plasmas in which the magnetic topology is rearranged and magnetic energy is converted to kinetic energy, thermal energy, and particle acceleration
'Dayside reconnection' allows interconnection of the Earth's magnetic field with that of the Sun (the Interplanetary Magnetic Field), allowing particle and energy entry into the Earth's vicinity.
Between plasmas even small forces can generate great changes:
en.wikipedia.org...
Magnetic reconnection in highly conductive systems is important because it concentrates energy in time and space, so that gentle forces applied to a plasma for long periods of time can cause violent explosions and bursts of radiation
Owens, a scientist, claims, that the earth`s outer core is plasma.
www.gsi.de...
Under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and density, matter can assume a fourth state: the plasma
www.wincom.net...
Owen points out that a plasma core provides a better explanation for the behaviour of the mantle which surrounds the Earth's outer core. The mantle lies directly beneath the crust and its convection currents are responsible for the creation of new crust and continental movement.

The part I'm replying to is simply you stating that NOW is the warmest period is human history. WRONG. And if you were really the "Earth scientist" you claim to be, instead of just spreading man made global warming propaganda, you never would have said that, since you'd know about the period which is known to climatologists as "The Medieval Warm Period", which lasted about 300-400 years, from (about) 1000ad to (about) 1400ad. Those are estimates and just working off top of my head memory. A time when there were wine vineyard, year round, in the most northern parts of England. This is also one of the most prosperous times in ALL of human history based on the things we were building back then.
This "medieval warm period" was then followed by about 100-200 years of what REAL climatologist refer to as "the little ice age". A period in Englands history when the Thames would be completely frozen over in the winter months, and Englanders would be having huge bazzars right on the frozen over Thames.
Then you could talk about the Holocene era in which temeratures were FAR higher than even the medieval warm period for over 4000 years. A time when Arctic researchers say the was no norther ice cap at all. Polar Bears existed at this time, and they seem to have made it through perfectly fine. Man made CO2 had nothing to do with either of these warm periods. In fact CO2 is one of the LEAST effective greenhouse gasses. The most effective GHG in out atmosphere is water vapor. CO2 is not even half a percent of our atmosphere. And the majority of that half a percent comes from the oceans, the 2nd majority form Volcanos, the 3rd majority from dying grasses, leaves and the like. Humans are WAY down the list of CO2 contributors. (Hopefully you're learning something here)
You're just spreading propaganda based on basically pseudo-science, and numbers cooked to portray an agenda. Once you watch The Great Global Warming Swidle you'll be better educated on this agenda, and btw, when you watch it pay attention to WHO the people are that are being interviewed......some of the most respected climatologists and ecologists and other science fields in the world, even the founder of GreenPeace. Well......I should say WERE well respected......until they started speaking out against man-made global warming. Most have had their lives threatened since.
Oh, and just one more quick thing. That last pic you posted in your previous post...the NASA satelite image. That is one single frame from a video, and the frame is from the end of summer. In The Great Global Warming Swindle, they have the actual video from that satelite from when it launch in the early/mid 90's through till the video I keep refering to was made, and it shows every single year the ice cap recedes to that point by end of summer, and fills all the way back out by the end of winter. This is nothing new according to actual arctic research scientists, and it's only now that there are satelite images showing the ice receding every year that can be shown to the public to rile them up to suit an agenda, are people outside of Arctic science even paying attention to the yearly ice recession and extention.
Again, this is all gone over in the video, and includes data from the world's PREMIER Arctic scientist. (I can't rememeber his name off the top of my head, it's been so long since I've watched The Great Global Warming Swindle). His credientials are in the video.
Simple plate tectonics. All the continents of the world come together and then break apart again every approximately every 400 million years following the ‘Wilson Cycle’. We are currently in the middle of one of these cycles which is why all the continents are more or less evenly spread across the globe. Last time they were together they formed the two super continents Gondwana and Laurasia at the height of the dinosaur era following the breakup of Pangaea. About a billion years ago they were together again though in a different order in another supercontinent called Rodinia
Slow: 1-5 cm/yr total opening rate
Medium: 5-10 cm/yr total opening rate
Fast: 10-20 cm/yr total opening rate
In the last five years, the geologic transformation of northeastern Africa has "accelerated dramatically," says Wright. Indeed, the process is going much faster than many had anticipated. In recent years, geologists had measured just a few millimeters of movement each year. "But now the earth is opening up by the meter," says Lorraine Field, a scholar at the University of Bristol who also attended the conference.
.
Owen (1992) is a little more conservative in that his Earth was already
80% of the modern size during this period of “great expansion.” Owen
used the same geometry exercise used herein to prove that the generation of
crustal material does not equal the amount of subduction plus the amount of
foreshortening (collision)
All of these models include descriptions of the growth of the Tethys Sea and
the fit of Pangaea, all based on magnetic anomalies
However it is still very doubtful that even if this was true that a plasma core would ever be influenced by the very weak magnetic forces which originate from space. The core is confined by immense pressure from the Earth which surrounds it. It is not free and is very dense unlike the plasmas and gases one finds in space
Plasma populations throughout the universe interact with solid bodies, gases, magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, magnetohydrodynamic waves, shock waves, and other plasma populations. These interactions can occur locally as well as on very large scales between objects such as galaxies, stars, and planets.
Magnetic field lines connecting different plasma populations act as channels for the transport of plasmas, currents, electric fields, and waves between the two environments. In this way, the two plasmas become coupled electromagnetically to one another.
When a flowing magnetized plasma strikes a solid object, an atmosphere, or a magnetosphere, strong interactions of various types can occur.
Often the mesoscale and macroscale dynamics are produced by microscale phenomena (as magnetic reconnection leads to coronal mass ejections and magnetospheric substorms), while macroscale phenomena can drive dynamics at the smaller scales
Space weather ... is set by solar magnetism. Solar activity modulation affects satellite orbits, influences jet stream patterns and contributes to the causes of minor, possibly major, ice ages
Short lived geomagnetic 'events' provide useful stratigraphic markers; they may enhance climatic and evolutionary changes and they provide stringent parameters for geomagnetic models. During such events the virtual geomagnetic pole undergoes excursions outside the usual range
