There's a long history of concerns about the validity of the MSU2 / AMSU5 data (aka: the MT), going back to Spencer and Christy's work published in 1992 in which they introduced the TLT (or LT) as a correction for the MT..

But models are not tuned to the trends in surface temperature, and as Gavin noted before (at least for the GISS model), the aerosol amounts are derived from simulations using emissions data and direct effects determined by changes in concentrations.

Researchers at Stanford University who closely track China's power sector, coal use, and carbon dioxide emissions have done an initial rough projection and foresee China possibly emitting somewhere between 1.9 and 2.6 billion tons less carbon dioxide from 2008 to 2010 than it would have under «business as usual» if current bearish trends for the global economy hold up.

In our analysis we found that an urban development strategy focused on access for all, rather than for a minority who use cars, with congestion pricing, realistic parking charges, and speed limits low enough to stop the slaughter of pedestrians and cyclists would as a co-benefit also reduce oil use and CO2 emissions from cars to barely more than twice today's levels in 2020, way below the trends.

It's been nice in recent days to see some strong advocates for curbs in emissions of greenhouse gases shift from the more overheated, and unsupported, rhetoric they used earlier this year in attempting a kind of «kitchen sink» argument aiming to tie virtually every recent harmful weather event to warming, even those — like powerful tornadoes — for which there is no link and certainly no trend.

When I wrote «In either case, we see no evidence of any long term warming trend, in either the atmosphere or the ocean,» that should have read «long term warming trend due to CO2 emissions...» There may be some evidence consistent with long term warming in the oceans, but I can't see how that could be due to CO2, for reasons given above.

Given the total irrelevance of volcanic aerosols during the period in question, the only very modest effect of fossil fuel emissions and the many inconsistencies governing the data pertaining to solar irradiance, it seems clear that climate science has no meaningful explanation for the considerable warming trend we see in the earlier part of the 20th century — and if that's the case, then there is no reason to assume that the warming we see in the latter part of that century could not also be due to either some as yet unknown natural force, or perhaps simply random drift.

I prefer the trend of the accumulated emissions, which is a near perfect fit for the observed accumulation in the atmosphere, above the temperature trend which is not so perfect... See and compare: with:

If temperature is responsible for the trend, where does the emissions go?

The problem is that you expand this to that temperature is responsible for the current trend, which is caused by something else (emissions), while the sensitivity only holds for the variability around the trend and a (small) part of the trend, depending of the temperature difference between begin and endpoint.
