Or in other words, real science, has totally failed to make a solid connection between CO2 and global temperatures.

There is a connection that I have observed in the temperature and CO₂ data. The CO₂ concentrations follow global temperatures by 800 years. Temperature effects CO₂ not the other way around.

I meant that “connection” as a driver, not as a result.

Clearly the oceans significantly affect the CO2 levels in the atmosphere based on water temperature. The colder the water the more CO2 the oceans can absorb (the process reverses when you warm the water). It would make sense that all that thermal mass in the oceans lags far behind atmospheric temperatures.
