That reference is exactly what I was refering to. It is a theory generated by statistics not science. Statistics can be used to prove or disprove depending on how you use them.

It is akin to the old conundrum "What came first The chiken or the egg"
eg did the rise in temperature cause the increase in CO2 or did CO2 increase the temperature.
because the amount of CO2 has always been insignificant against all other factors I go with the theory that CO2 increases because of temperature rises.
