Re correlations between CO2 and temperature in the last 100 years, how do you explain that hot period in the 1930's when CO2 additions by humans were modest? Our big increase in CO2 addition has occurred after WWII. Yet for 30 years after the 1930's we had cooling. I'm not so impressed with the CO2/temperature correlation for the last 100 yrs.

As to the issue of using proxies - whether ice core data or data from Canadian fiords - I'm pretty sure they get the general trends right. And I doubt we'd hear someone questioning their reliability if they supported AGW.
