Yes I can say there is no association with CO2 and climate change; the geologic record is full of data showing large swings in atmospheric CO2 and zero correlation with global temps...the earth has been historically warmer with low CO2 amounts and colder with highly elevated CO2.

The fact is, there is no direct correlation between CO2 and climate. Global climate change, (a rare occurrence on a global scale) is caused by a number of complex events and the most important atmospheric greenhouse component is water.

The enviro scam artists chose the wrong molecule.

Can you post a link to a graph showing that? Most graphs I have seen show correlation, but unfortunately for the climate alarmists, there is evidence that temperature changes precede CO2 increases:

Yes, water is the most important molecule, which is why the crucial point in the debate is whether there is a feedback mechanism whereby small changes in temps caused by CO2 increases feed back into increases in water vapor. The link above offers one of many arguments that there is no feedback mechanism. Others have argued that it’s minimal or perhaps even negative (dampening).
