I don't see how you can claim something has been mostly accurate when the main graph about it hasn't been accurate at all.  I mean... industrilzation has increased past their expectations, not decreased, so if anything... it should be much worse.

Laregely the whole thing feels like that a lot of climate scientists think it will happen, but never really found conclusive causation, however kept pushing like they did soley out of concern that not doing so would cause a disaster.

Really though, future generations will likely wonder why we used Oil for so many things when we could of used it all on Plastic.

I meant predictions in other areas (C02 emmissions etc) not necessarily the rise & and fall of global temperatures.

There's a lot of proof climate change due to human activity is taking place.  http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Increases in CO2 doesn't really do much without the correlating tempeture changes though.  Otherwise it could be argued that other gases are more important or the modifier is much less then thought.

The biggest issue with the page you listed is a number of those things have just.... stopped or greatly, despite increases in CO2 production... as mentioned in the article I provided.

When if anything you would expect it to INCREASE, espiecally considering the fact that CO2 is supposed to have a feedback loop.  Aka more Co2 in the air makes the tempeture hotter, which causes ice to melt and a number of other factors which cause more greenhouse gasses in the air, making it hotter etc.
