Every graph I've seen shows that increased temperature precedes increased CO2, not the reverse. That's why I think that AGW is a fraud and a scam.

This is true as well. It was my point #2. My first point being that his temperature line is not continued to present day because it would have shown a gross flattening not corresponding to the CO2 line.
If it did correspond all the way to present day, the weather channel would be reporting temperatures for our northern cities between 210 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit this time of year. This would be for cities that he identified such as Detroit in his example. Like I said, if we assign a number between 70 and 80 to represent the unit of measurement he called “a pleasant day” which I am assuming is between 70-80 degrees in places like Detroit in the summer.
He CONVENIENTLY left out the present day temperature line because the weather channel is not reporting temps like this.
