   I don't ask you to conjecture anything. Just OBSERVE the form of the   
   cloud of dots made of pairs of (monthly CO2 increments, temperature   
   increments six months before). It strongly suggests that there is some   
   correlation between temperatures and CO2 ppm six months later. Now,   
   physicists know a possible cause that can explain this possible correlation.   
      
   Note too, that this correlation would hardly be detectable in annual   
   time series. So, although there is no visible correlation between   
   "fossil fuel" annual emissions and annual temperature increments, it is   
   not a proof that no causal relation exists, only that, if it exists, it   
   is too weak to be detected.
