"it shows that the temperature rise started *long before* CO2 caused global warming which began around 1980"

It should. The industrial age began pumping out GHGs long before 1980, and warming began shortly before the theory was developed, and 100 years sooner than you believe.

Averaged over all land and ocean surfaces, temperatures warmed roughly 1.53°F (0.85ºC) from 1880 to 2012, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (see page 3 of the IPCC's Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policymakers - PDF).

Uh, no. I got my bachelor's in marine science in 1979. By then it had been established that the measured 15 cm rise in sea level since 1900 was due to thermal expansion due to rising levels of CO2. I think 1900 through 1979 was before 1980...
