Random Notes:
While it is true that the earth's atmosphere has in the past contained as much carbon dioxide as it does now (which is significantly more than two centuries ago), these periods were marked by a planet covered with warm, wide, shallow seas. Then again, lakefront property is worth more, right? So how bad can that be? All you need to do is wait until your neighbors are underwater, then sell quick, before you are!

I read in National Geographic that the landmass of Greenland is actually depressed due to the weight of the ice (which is slowly leaving). If this is true of Greenland then it must also be true of Antartica. The earth's crust is like the skin on cooling oatmeal, pressure in one place causes a rise everywhere else due to the liquid underneath. So, then, what happens to the rest of the crust as the pressure is released off of Greenland and Antartica? A new age of volcanism (oh, doesn't that release CO2 into the atmosphere too?)
