What is there to argue? Nothing.
It's a scientific fact humans are producing CO2 at an alarming rate, and it's only increasing, never stopping.
It's a scientific fact the Earth has a limit on how much CO2 it can absorb. Everything else will stay in the atmosphere.
It's a scientific fact CO2 absorbs radiation, and traps heat in our atmosphere (greenhouse effect).
It's a scientific fact that increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will increase temperatures on Earth.
It's a scientific fact increasing temperatures will increase greenhouse gases.
It's a fact we have a legitimate problem on our hands, man-made global warming, which was theorized more than a hundred years ago.
We don't even have to argue about current temperatures, or past temperatures, or politics, or who funded what scientist, etc.. The above is absolute, certain, and most true, and inevitable warming is a fact.

I don't think the point of their graph was to prove that rising temperature raises Co2 levels. I'm more inclined to believe that the point they were trying to make was that through the ages the temperature has rather consistently fluctuated between cold and hot periods, way before the industrial revolution.

that's why the wind blows, doesn't it?
to spread the CO2 all around. so it don't bunch up in one place.

Wasn't it a few years ago that these "scientists" caught in a lie when an email was leaked showing they were falsifying the research in favor of the climate change believers?

there have been tons of studies.....the government-funded ones say we're causing it, the non-government-funded ones say we're not...hmmmm
he's not being closed-minded, he's being realistic. there have already been tons of studies, and anyone without an agenda can see that there have been major climate changes throughout history, and it seems to operate in cycles....this is just part of the cycle...there have been periods in history that had FAR higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, and we didn't get the "runaway global warming" thing then, as proven by the fact that we're all here right now...
did you know humans produce CO2 simply by breathing?
