The Peer-Reviewed Scientific Evidence:
“There is an absence of correlation between temperature changes… and CO2.“
[The graphical components of that article are not particularly conducive to easy interpretation. Fortunately, another published, peer-reviewed source provides just such a graph.]
http://ns.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html
[The same CO2 concentration data depicted above as smoothed and lineal are depicted less precisely below as quantized bars (without the previously accompanying temperature data).]
[Notice that the time span of the previous two graphs is several hundred million years, which is several times longer than any of the following graphs depicted below (all of which were derived from published, peer-reviewed research). Over the above-depicted time span (both graphs display the same data measured over the same temporal bounds), the calculated margin of CO2 measurement errors (shown on the first graph as a shaded, or shadowed, band around the CO2 line) generally increases as the time frames recede from the present (due, primarily, to the increasing unreliability of CO2 concentration measurement proxies with increasing temporal recession from present). But notice also that nowhere on the first graph (meaning at no time during the last 600 million years — at the temporal resolution displayed by the graphs) is there any discernible correlation between atmospheric temperatures and CO2 concentrations. That condition appeared to change, however, with the arrival of the Quaternary Period about 2.6 million years ago (a time frame too narrow to depict on the first graph but displayed as a quantized [averaged] value in the second graph) as the next few article citations & graphs (presented in order of increasing recency and temporal resolution) will illustrate.]

“[H]igh CO2 concentrations during an interglacial *always* result in cooling while low CO2 concentrations during a glacial maximum *always* result in warming… But if CO2 was the primary feedback mechanism regulating glacial temperature responses, this is unlikely to happen in this fashion… If CO2 represented the primary feedback system during an interglacial, then the large rise in CO2 concentrations could well produce a ‘runaway greenhouse effect’, a possibility that has been mentioned by many scientists… And yet over the last five [interglacial] cycles, high CO2 concentrations have resulted in global temperatures stabilising [sic] at about the same value, no matter how strong the Great Summer insolation. And this is despite CO2 at the interglacial concentration… still having plenty of feedback potential left in it… [T]his is perhaps further evidence that the primary feedback in interglacial modulation is actually [something other] than CO2.”

[Yes, the asterisks in the above-cited reference were added by ASND, for obvious emphasis on the main point of this page. Regarding Fig. 1 cited in that original paper…
… , notice (with the use of a page or image zoom tool) that most of the interglacial temperature minima recorded in that graph (e.g. 745, 720, 640, 545, 505, 290, 275, & 160 thousand years ago) occurred centuries prior to the associated — but subsequent — CO2 concentration minima.]
and…
“Throughout the past 800,000 years, increases in concentrations of carbon dioxide do correlate with increases in ocean temperatures, but concentrations typically increase a few hundred years after observed warming…“
and…
[The following graph is similar to the previous graph but it depicts temperatures and CO2 concentrations over only about half the paleoclimatic time scale (the previous graph depicts the same data as the first graph at the top of this page but over only about one ninth the paleoclimatic time scale as that first graph — so the temporal resolution increases in each successive graph while the temporal distance [or bounding] decreases in each successive graph). The following graph (like the previous two, also derived from peer-reviewed research cited below it) reveals a similar reversed correlation between temperatures and CO2 concentrations — with the same lead increases coming not from CO2 but from temperatures. In other words, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations did not produce increasing temperatures. In actuality, the exact opposite has been scientifically measured over and over and over again regarding most of the last million years.]
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations FOLLOWS increasing temperatures, not the other way around.
[Data concatenated from http://geoweb.princeton.edu/people/bender/lab/downloads/Petit_et_al_1999_copy.pdf and http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Reference_Docs/Geocarb_III-Berner.pdf and http://scotese.com/climate.htm , cited in http://www.ncpathinktank.org/pdfs/Global-Warming-Primer-updated-reduced-size.pdf ]
[Notice something else in those last two graphs, which happens to also be critical to understanding the CO2-induced global warming debate. The far right sides of both graphs — approximately the last 10k – 15k years (both of them reporting paleoclimatic proxy measurements from Antarctica) — clearly show a divergence of slopes between the plotted CO2 and Temperature curves. In both graphs, during that relatively recent period of climatic history, CO2 concentrations continued to rise while temperatures oscillated. This is a glaringly obvious refutation of the most basic premise made by CO2-hating climate alarmists, that rising atmospheric CO2 necessarily causes rising atmospheric temperatures. And for the most reliable data in the entire paleoclimatic record — i.e. the most recent — to reveal this refutation is nothing short of a scientific slap in the face of CO2-induced anthropogenic global warming true believers.]

“[Atmospheric] CO2 increase lagg[s]… [atmospheric] warming… by 800 ± 200 years…“
https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.1078758
[This graph — depicting a narrow temporal window around 238,000 years ago — did not accompany the original research paper but was published here using the data presented in the paper. Notice, though, that the CO2 data points in this graph disagree by about one “zero” (i.e. an order of magnitude, or about a factor of 10; 280ppm vs. 2000ppm) with the same time frame in the first graph cited above (which was plotted using different, but very similar, source data). That was apparently a plotting error by the graphic artist for this graph since the data points he used for his plot were about 10X higher than he recorded. This graphic artist also chose a poor temporal window to feature as the scientific point he is trying to make with the graph — that increasing CO2 does not actually precede increasing temperatures — is not well made using a graphical peak rather than a graphical trough. The described temperature lag is visible, however, both in the original source data and in the various graphs available (both presented here and in the original papers) for those who want to do the research for themselves.]
and…
[The final citation in this series of published, peer-reviewed graphical depictions of time-lapsed comparative measurements between atmospheric CO2 concentrations and atmospheric temperatures is from the very recent, directly-measured climatic past and includes sea surface temperatures.]
“It is informative to examine the annual change in atmospheric CO2 alongside the annual changes in global air temperature and global sea-surface temperatures. All three vary in concert, but with sea-surface temperatures leading a few months ahead of the global temperature and change rates for atmospheric CO2 lagging 11–12 months behind the sea-surface temperature change rates.“
https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2022/04/Humlum-State-Climate-2021.pdf
[Notice, once again, that the identical pattern of temporal lags between initial increases in atmospheric warming followed by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations has been measured globally, right up to the present.]
So yes, CO2 emission levels have consistently increased dramatically since the middle of the last century…

…, showing no statistically significant correlations except for very short, statistically insignificant (i.e. irrelevant) periods of time (less than ten years).
While those are clearly the facts of the recent climatological record, it is also true for the paleoclimatological record, as demonstrated by the published, peer-reviewed data graphically reproduced above. While there have been observed correlations between atmospheric temperatures and CO2 concentrations during — and only during — the geologically recent Quaternary Period, those correlations cannot have been causal because virtually all of the measured increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last several hundred thousand years have actually followed — rather than preceded — atmospheric temperature fluctuations by about 600 to 800 years.
https://cornwallalliance.org/2012/12/carbon-dioxide-and-air-temperature-who-leads-and-who-follows/
[One of the most important — and intentionally ignored (by ideologues posing as scientists) — peer-reviewed climate research papers states this scientific fact unequivocally.]
“As cause always must precede effect, this observation demonstrates that modern changes in temperatures are generally not induced by changes in atmospheric CO2. Indeed, the sequence of events is seen to be the opposite: temperature changes are taking place before the corresponding CO2 changes occur.”
From the plethora of published, peer-reviewed research citations provided above, it is plainly evident to any objective observer that atmospheric CO2 concentration is not the primary driver of Earth’s atmospheric temperature fluctuations, which fluctuations have been far, far more abrupt and extreme over Earth’s long history than what has been observed in the last few decades.
http://www.biocab.org/Geological_Timescale.jpg
[Just to clarify, ASND is not claiming that increases in atmospheric heat causes increases in atmospheric CO2 (which would be the opposite of what climate alarmists claim). What ASND is claiming is what the peer-reviewed research claims: For the entirety of Earth’s climate history nowhere is there any measurable lead increase in atmospheric CO2 followed by an increase in atmospheric heating. Therefore there has never been a measured causal correlation between increasing atmospheric CO2 and increasing temperatures. This lack of causal correlation between increasing atmospheric CO2 & increasing temperatures reappears wherever the temperature vs. CO2 concentration records are compared — including in the recent past. Most heat records for most locations were recorded not in the 21st century after decades of rapidly increasing anthropogenic CO2 but rather decades before the post-industrial increase in anthropogenic CO2 became statistically significant.

Likewise, the recent decade-long pause in global warming (late 1990s – late 2000s) was completely unanticipated by any climate models because they universally assume CO2-induced atmospheric warming — despite it being universally falsified. This scientific fact is, by far, the most damning falsification of the anthropogenic CO2-induced global warming hoax and it has never even been reported by the mainstream, left wing media. Nor has it ever been successfully challenged (despite failed attempts ).]

“The United States accounts, as all of you know, for less than 15 percent of [global] carbon emissions. The rest of the world accounts for 85 percent. [Therefore even] if we [the U.S.] do everything perfectly [i.e. become 100% carbon neutral], it’s not going to matter.“

Why? Because the models assume carbon dioxide is the primary control knob for GAT. The satellite measurements contradict that assumption. Yet the models are still used for policy making. Most current climate-change hype rests on models and land-based GAT. Our understanding should rest on satellite measurements instead.”

The number of weather stations providing data to the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) plunged in 1990 and again in 2005. The sample size has fallen by over 75% from its peak in the early 1970s, and is now smaller than at any time since 1919. The collapse in sample size has increased the relative fraction of data coming from airports to about 50 percent (up from about 30 percent in the 1970s). It has also reduced the average latitude of source data and removed relatively more high-altitude monitoring sites…
There is evidence that Sea Surface Temperature (SST) trends overstate nearby Marine Air Temperature (MAT) trends…
The quality of data over land, namely the raw temperature data in GHCN, depends on the validity of adjustments for known problems due to urbanization and land-use change. The adequacy of these adjustments has been tested in three different ways, with two of the three finding evidence that they do not suffice to remove warming biases…
The overall conclusion of this report is that there are serious quality problems in the surface temperature data sets that call into question whether the global temperature history, especially over land, can be considered both continuous and precise.“
