In a recent paper, paleoclimatic data shows that the tropical monsoon cycle responds very reliably to the ups and downs of Milankovitch insolation forcing on one of the shorter time scales (either 23kyr 65N forcing swings or the 41kyr obliquity cycle, I forget which), but the ice sheets and sea level and
global temperature do not respond directly to those insolation forcings.
«CO2 after the turn of the (21st) century continued to increase, in fact if anything slightly faster, but global temperature didn't.
-- modelling procedure requires crude approximations over large grid cells, ignoring local climate and weather phenomena as large as hurricances — model projections are demonstrably unreliable at regional and local level: even those that appear to simulate the evolution of
global temperature do so only by averaging hundreds of more or less wrong results for the grid cells.
(Of course, your graph is somewhat compressed, so we know curve smoothing aside,
the global temperature did on occasion in this Domain drop below that mark, however we can consider these outliers for the moment.)
The climate change report says oil demand will drop to 78 million barrels a day by 2040 under a scenario whereby
global temperatures do not rise by more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
It so happens that sea level continued to rise while
global temperatures did not — that might bother you but not me, because that conundrum has nothing to do with evidence regarding the alleged influence of CO2.

global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: (a) Holding the increase in the
global average
temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the
temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; (b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that
does not threaten food production; and (c) Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate - resilient development.
