Liberals desperately need various "crises" to mask their real goals and do their dirty work. The MSM acts as their cheerleader to help amplify their doomsday scenarios.
They have to act really fast now because there are indications that global temps (especially in the deep ocean waters where it has real impact) are trending downward.
To them, it's like hitting the beach with your surf-board only to find that the waves have gone and it's "flat".
Because elevated levels of carbon dioxide are more a SYMPTOM than a CAUSE of paleo-climatic global warming. The laws of physics require that the temperature change as the fourth root of a logarithmic function of carbon dioxide concentrations. The temperature correlates well with carbon dioxide before the emergence of humanity because both decreased during glacial periods. Widespread ice cover in the polar and subpolar regions and significantly cooler, often drier climates in the rest of the planet greatly reduced the biotic respiration that produces carbon dioxide. Cooler oceans also dissolve marginally more of the gas.
The global warming hype cannot result from an accounting of the direct impact of carbon dioxide on global temperature. Those wild and wacky predictions instead assume that the buildup of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and the resultant slight warming will trigger catastrophic positive feedbacks. The "gloom and doom" scenarios also come from climate models with severe difficulties in convective parameterization; simply put, their inability to generate realistic thunderstorms leads to runaway ridiculous results.
Answer: We shouldn't expect temperature to rise if CO2 increases because CO2 doesn't increase temperature that much. The graph shows that higher temperatures cause CO2 to increase.
