If we look at the more recent record, you can see where the end of the Little Ice Age, the rise in temperatures and the increase in CO2 level all coincide with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. Now, it could be just a liberal conspiracy. It ended long before the industrial revolution really got going or any significant output of co2 or any other gases. There is little agreement over the warming from 1850 to 1950. For one, your thesis requires that CO2 doesn't absorb in the infrared. It does. There was a pretty good demonstration of that on a recent episode of Mythbusters. Yes - no one argues in an experiment a relationship exists - it's in the real world with so many variables and mitigating systems we barely understand that prove the more wild theories (and models) to be incorrect. There's a reason scientists once convinced by GW are backing off and reconsidering and some of Al Gore's own references and medal mates tend to disagree now with the theory.
