NASA/GISS Provides Proof That CO2 Growth Does Not Produce Runaway, Tipping Point Global Warming

The 'climate panic' industry has long predicted that growth in atmospheric CO2 would produce rapid and dangerous global warming acceleration...but NASA's GISS climate research unit pretty much slams that alarmist myth to the mat with empirical evidence...

The CAGW global warming hypothesis is rather straightforward: increasing atmospheric CO2 would warm the world in an accelerating, out-of-control manner.

For the adjacent chart, that indeed would be the case, if we pretended the green curve represented global temperature and the red curve atmospheric CO2.

But it's just the opposite in reality.

As the chart depicts over 12 different time periods (all ending July 2014), reality is that while CO2 levels keep increasing over time, the long-term temperature warming trend (the red curve) is not rapidly accelerating towards a tipping point of climate catastrophe.

What about shorter-term? (Okay, okay we won't mention this inconvenient fact.)

Well, note the 3-year period mark. Over the last 3 years, the CO2 level has increased by 7ppm and the warming acceleration "spiked" at 3.8°C per century. To put that "acceleration" in historical context, during July 1915 the global warming trend had a real spike...a 15.4°C per century spike without any meaningful increase of CO2 over the prior 3 years.

Conclusion: It is clear from the NASA/GISS empirical evidence that warming acceleration trends are not highly correlated with ever greater atmospheric increases of CO2. The claimed CAGW impact from the growing accumulation of human CO2 emissions in the atmosphere appears to be temperature-trivial. From the evidence, one can also conclude that not even GISS can manufacture a temperature dataset that reveals runaway warming, let alone their fabled catastrophic "boiling oceans" prediction. Dang, those stubborn facts.

Note: Monthly GISS temperature dataset source. All chart time periods end as of July 2014. Used Excel to calculate trends utilizing the built-in slope function; plots created by Excel. Monthly CO2 levels estimated from a combination of source-1 and source-2. Interpreting the chart: for example, over the 60-year period ending July 2014, CO2 ppm increased by 86 and the GISS per century warming trend for the last 60 years was 1.3°C.
