Andrew seems to believe that only those countries burning fossil fuels as if there was no consequence to doing so should 'heat up'.

Nope. The first image I posted shows the wattage absorbed by the atmosphere globally. The latest image I posted shows the average global surface temperature.

Indeed you did. However the point you were trying to make, that countries who contribute the most CO2 should absorb more heat than countries who do not is incorrect. An increase in CO2, methane, and/or H2O is dispersed globally so will increase heat in all areas equally. To support the view that mean global temperature is not rising you would have to compare the same heat maps taken a number of decades apart. As they are they do nothing but show the heat variance in different areas of the earth. As is, they are incapable of showing any global mean temp. change.
