Atmospheric CO2 from 650,000 BP !!!

This is the Atmospheric CO2 data I've been looking for, appending the previous ice core data from 420,000 BP to 650,000 BP.

NEWS article without graphics: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=00020983-B238-1384-B23883414B7F0000 Ice Core Extends Climate Record Back 650,000 Years

It shows similar 5 intergacial peaks, approximately every 100,000 years, and two more mellow peaks before 500,000 years ago.

On the FAR RIGHT you see our latest interglacial period PLUS humanity's CO2 jump in the last some 100+ years. In this scale the "modern" record is VERTICAL.

What will the next 100 years bring? I don't think anyone is prepared for that.
