Could one not then assume that if the temperature is rising, and will likely continue to rise (because of green house gasses as they arent likely to decrease next year) that those effects would be the same or worse next year?

The book is not insinuating that. The author says the global temperature is on the rise, but year to year it can fluctuate. So 2007 won't necessarily be the hottest year on record. And again please stop making up arguments and drawing your own slanted conclusions from the book when you have only a read a small synopsis on it.

I still have a hard time believing that if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is less than 0.0542% as inidcated in the video, and humans contribute what appears to be much less than 10% of that, how that approx 0.003% (High Estimate) amount increase by humans would be responsible for such a dramatic shift in weather patterns.
Had it been a foreign substance to the atmosphere similar to polluting the waters I could associate more closely with it. I would have thought the earth had a larger fault tolerance than that.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for that. But I am sure someone else does.
Everything humans do influences the earth. We extinct animals, alter landscapes, changes cycles, by building over their habitat, poisoning their waters and hunting. Why would this be any different?
I hear the "earth climate changes and fluctuates" argument. Yes I know it does, there has been several ice ages. But when was the last global heat wave? When has the earth gotten hotter than it's been right now?
