Regarding the graph here in this post, it isn’t even displaying properly for anyone to make a comment on (at least in my browser). Anyway, all common skeptic arguments and a scientific and rational response is available from grist.org:

How else do you account for the huge increases in CO2 emissions…and it’s effects as a greenhouse gas?

We need to make sure we’re not confusing Global average temperatures with avg. US temps – RE: ‘34 being the warmest year on record – only in the US.

Don’t see how this chart is much evidence since global average teampatures haven’t uniformly increased in lockstep with the graph on the chart. Such as 1934 being the warmest year in the 20th century or the 1930s-1940s being as warm or warmer as the any part of the 20th century. Or that the period between 1950 and 1970 being one of the coldest if not the coldest in the 20th century. I would say that the chart above is more in evidence that man made C02 emmissions are not the majority factor in climate change. Doesn’t mean that man made CO2 has no impact, but doesn’t mean that it does either.

Regarding that senate report (from notorious denialist James Inhofe)- not-so-prominent scientists, and some not scientists at all:
