Excellent charts!

From the article:

"It wasn't until Keeling came along and started measuring CO2 that we got the evidence that CO2 was increasing from human activities," says Professor Andrew Watkinson

I think this summarizes bad science, unless I'm missing something. Yes, they're measuring an increase in CO2, but then they make two leaps:

1) Human activities are the cause.
2) More CO2 correlates with higher global temperatures.

From your charts, I would say that both of these assumptions are on shaky ground.

1) Human activities are the cause.

There is little room for doubt about this fact. There are multiple types of data, and analyses of such data, that indicate it is an accurate statement.

I’m willing to concede CO2 is increasing from human activities, but absolutely have seen no evidence that increased CO2 is causing measurable temperature changes.

And, in fact, the evidence gets less each year that increased CO2 is affecting temperate.
