We know were contributing significantly to rapidly increasing CO2 levels we can calculate our own CO2 output.
Personally I don't care what the enviro nuts have to say half of them don't have a clue what their talking about and do it as a lifestyle statement. But I am interested in the hard data the scientists and researchers put out. I'd rather know whats coming now then 10 years later when I'm knee deep in it trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

You talk about the ice core CO2 levels. The interpretation can be looked at one of two ways.
1. The increased levels of CO2 came before and the global warming followed as a result. Then CO2 content in the atmosphere settled onto the ice during that period as indicated in the strata of the ice cores.
OR
2. The global warming started and because of increased temperatures the normally stable elements tended to vaporize causing these gases we call green house gases to move through the atmosphere then settled onto the ice during that period as indicated in the strata of the ice cores.
In the case of Venus, which is heated to such a great extent, and having the elements necessary to gas off to create such a voluminous amount of what is believed to be green house gases, it could be reasoned that the process taking place was heat generated. And I can say with a great deal of confidence, but allowing a little room for doubt, that cars and industry are not the cause.
Which came first, The roasted chicken or the hard boiled egg?
