The temperature record has risen 0.6c in the last 100 years (IPCC). You call that great?
If you knew the subject you would not ask that question. Even I know that is a great increase for such a small time.

Also I think you are underestimateing the rise.

CO2 only accounts for about 4.2-8.4% of the greenhouse effect.

Methane has actually stopped increasing worldwide:

Methane - Global Halt To Major Greenhouse Gas Growth (Science Daily)
Methane - Level Of Important Greenhouse Gas Has Stopped Growing (Science Daily)
Methane has increased by 149% and CO2 by 31%. The older figures for the amount of warming caused by C02 range from 9 to 26% and for Methane 4-9%.
