You are 100% right of course. The log of CO2 is right there on the 100 year chart making the scale go from 200 and something to 350 instead of puny thousands of percents. Also ignored is the small absolute changes in temperature over the last hundred years compared to the much larger changes over millennia periods where it is clear distance to sun and slant of earth to sun is causing large differences in net radiative energy impinging on different parts of the earth over time. It's amazing that someone would think that a 0.008 percent change in air CO2 would cause the 12 degree changes in temperature, or any temperature change at all in an open system such as the earth's atmosphere spinning in outer space with a big sun heating it up. I give up :-)
