No, Harry, you are wrong. Assuming higher CO2 concentration causes higher temperature, if year A has higher CO2 than year B, then Year A should have a higher temperature. The year to year temperatures do not support that claim.
The yearly temperature data does not support the claim that higher CO2 causes higher temperature. There must be other causes.

Consensus science is not science, Harry.
BTW, the NOAA source you provided is still relying on bad data. That site still says that the 10 hottest years are all recent. That data was recently realized to be wrong. I provided the correct data.
