Except it did rise slowly like the carbon emission. Don't forget that before the seventies the world population was roughly half of what it is today. Records for millions of years have shown that temperature follows carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Thank god for the oxigen isotopes on the south pole. You can make a conclusion on climate change over a period of 30 years and the last 30 years have shown a rapid growth in mean temperature on a global scale. Considering the sun isn't heating up and the UN, EU, China and even American research has proven a direct link between greenhouse emissions  (CO2 being the largest by far) and mean global temperature there isn't any other big factor at hand. The north and south pole don't move very fast these days. The atmosphere isn't changing significantly other than himans polluting the living shit out of it. Neither is the sun or the core of the earth heating up.

 

But so inform me which other and bigger factors are at play. 

 

Temp and C02 since industrial revolution

I see no statistical rise in temperatures on that graph from the 30s into the 70s.

Me saying there are other factors doesn't imply I know the factors. I'm not in any way expertly knowledgeable on the subject. It implies I can see that graph very clearly showing for 40 years, SOMETHING clearly had a much larger impact than CO2 on the temp.

Considering that 0.25 degrees is already a big change for such a short period historically seen. The year 40's where a bit hotter than usual, but that can be traced back towards a hotter than usual El nino and the fact that CO2 didn't rise nearly as fast as it does today. 

 

Another factor you have to weight in is that there where fewer weatherstations in the 40's and they where a lot less accurate. Anyway I think greenhouse gasses and global warming are very much and dominantly related and you think it's a small factor in any case.
