Average global temperature and concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere are not well correlated over the past two decades. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere at mount Mauna Loa Hawaii has been increasing in a more or less linear fashion for the past 20 years. However, looking at the global datasets for temperature (Hadcrut3, Hadcrut4, RSS, satellite etc.) we have not experienced any increase increase in average global temperature for the past fourteen to seventeen years. An inconvenient truth for sure, but there is no ignoring the numbers in the datasets.
