The graph you posted is a perfect example of no correlation between CO2 and global warming or global ice age. As to CO2, water vapor has beed ascribed as the 96 to 98% greenhouse gas. CO2 is supposed (wild ass guessed ) to increase temps by a few degrees over a century by the models that cannot predict the past or the present.

On the other hand in a dry dessert the earth can cool 50 degrees over night, but where there is cloud cover it cools only a few degrees over night.

So water vapor does have an greenhouse warming effect of a few degrees per hour based upon known measured variations. But CO2 has a wild ass guess effect of a few degrees per 876000 hours.

I don't worry about 876000 hour wild ass guess effects when known 1 hour effects swamp them every day and every night.
