Do you consider a 25% increase in atmospheric CO2 a slight increase?  That's
how I read the numbers on the graph at

BTW, another version of that graph is at
http://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/ice/lec11/vostok3.htm.  This version shows
methane too.  The source of the data is the Vostok ice cores.
