And as a follow up
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

It is always easier to disprove a hypothesis , rather than prove it as the hypothesis must withstand all challenges/ experiments (basic grade 10 science)
And we have both twenty and forty year periods where the experimental data is not consistent with the AGW theory.
That is long enough to reject/ cast doubt on the AGW hypothesis, as
a hypothesis requires consistent positive results.
If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.
Especially if the hypothesis explicitly links the expected results (higher Temp) to a single variable which is increasing (higher Co2 concentration) in a very consistent manner
Surface temperature data records the alarmist are hanging their hat on are
1. Too short to make a definitive
positive cause and effect conclusion .
2. Incomplete, the planet is two thirds covered in water and most of the land area has next to zero historical data,
3, Filled with errors. The urban Island heat effect and a strong biases towards airport stations
( Gavin Schmidt is likely measuring urbanization trends)
4. has been fiddled with. Environment Canada wiped out a hundred years of data for modelling , in addition stations are moved and station data sets are eliminated from the data based on someone's
judgement call
5. The alarmists picked the beginning of the industrial revolution as a starting reference point, probably the coldest period since the little ice age.
The satellite data eliminates these errors save #1 , Too short to make a definitive positive cause and effect conclusion
However twenty and forty year periods are long enough to conclude temperatures do not move in lockstep with CO2, so... something is wrong with the hypothesis

Dr. Nikolov graph is clearly labeled as Near Surface temperatures,
These results are consistent with Dr. John Christys results which measures the troposphere temperatures (verified by weather balloon observations)
If the atmosphere is not warming, it can not possibly be warming the planet.
Only a fool intent on misleading others would suggest atmospheric temperature is not relevant to the Greenhouse Gas theory
BTW: A theory which has never been experimentally proven
Co2 is not the control knob for climate and climate is far more complex than the Alarmists propaganda portray
