It proves it? Wow...
Why don't you get back to us when you've caught up with the last 20 years of discussion?
But just to give your catching up some direction - the data you've posted show a lag of several hundred to several thousand years between temperature and CO2 rise. How much lag do you see here?
And, while we're here, in how many of the spikes in your data was the CO2 produced independently by the dominant species?
Here's the problem bud. No one is denying that increasing the Earth's temperatures will cause an increase in CO2 levels. It's a fact. But that does NOT mean that increasing CO2 levels won't warm the planet. The two effects: CO2 coming out of solution as temperatures increase and CO2 absorbing infrared radiation, ARE INDEPENDENT. That one occurs says NOTHING about the other. In fact, in the longer run, it's bad news as it means that the warming from the CO2 WE have released will cause the release of even more CO2 (and methane and water vapor) from the lands and seas, into the atmosphere, providing a significant positive feedback mechanism.
Do you understand?
