Even if your chart is correct, which I doubt, how do you know the temperatures rising is related to an increase in CO2 levels. The fact you have a chart showing both increased over time does not mean the two are related.
Most people who develop cancer have flown on an airplane. A chart can be produced showing that over time air travel and the occurrence of cancer have increased. So can we assume that air travel is a cause of cancer?
I don't think so.
We could also "prove" that eating strawberries out of season in New England is a cause of cancer in New Englanders. Both of these things have increased in the 20th Century. Are the two related?
I don't think so.

Yet you say, "Condition X is pre-industrial CO2, and A is the temperature. Condition Y is current CO2, and A has changed." So what have you proved? Sorry, but you have proved nothing yet.

Let us use air travel and cancer rate. "Condition X is pre 20th Century air travel, and A is the cancer rate.
Condition Y is the current air travel and A has changed". So can we assume that air travel is a cause of cancer?

I have dumbed this down in hopes you can understand it.
You are really not very bright are you?
