100% correct.

The article stated CO2 in the atmosphere was increasing. And demonstrated that temperatures were increasing. But the article contained no evidence that there was a causal effect.

But, if you don’t believe their hypothesis that CO2 causes warming, then you believe the “big lie.” I submit the article’s authors are really the ones promoting and believing a big lie.

If you don't want to believe the clearly demonstrated connection between increasing greenhouse gas emissions, of which CO2 is the major one, and rising global temperatures, that's entirely up to you. But, kindly refrain from calling me a liar for reporting proven science because it does not agree with your perception.

Horse shit

It's not rocket science.

If you increase the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gasses, you increase the greenhouse effect.

Is there some part of that you don't understand?

GuyWhite quite rightly pointed out that the relationship has been identified but the causation has not. You could as well assume that higher temperatures cause greater concentration of co2, not the other way around.

The causal effect is well known. It's called the greenhouse effect.

And it's been understood since the late 1800s. Here's a paper published in 1896 that estimates an increase in temperature by latitude for various increases in CO2.

Nope.
