Look at this graph. Is there even one time when CO2 and temperature track with each other?? There's not one time when they track closely enough to make any reasonable assumptions about their relationship.


First, I couldn't find the scientific articles that are the basis for that hand-drawn graph of Monte Hieb. Would you kindly tell what are the works that "C. R. Scotese" and "R.A. Berner, 2001" refer to?

Here's a bit more up-to-date graph of the temperature:

Second, no-one has stated that CO2 is the only factor behind climate changes. In long time spans, the Milankovich cycle, for example, is much more important.

I was hoping to get some conversation about the satellite measurements of the fortification of greenhouse effect or about the measurements of CO2's infrared radiation absorbing qualities, but I guess that won't happen. After all, it's pretty hard to argue against physical observations. Have you ever read and understood scientific studies about these issues?
