So it would surprise the heck out of me to see a statistically
robust correlation of CO2 to global temperature.

correlation with ECS is not due to its proposed physical mechanism.
The
robust quantification
of over 9,000 proteins and 11,000 phosphopeptides on average enabled the de novo construction

That
correlation is «less

These proxy measurements are independently verified and statistically validated by
robust methods
of comparison with instrumental data and should have a sound physical reason as to why they change with aforementioned climate parameter (
correlation does not imply causation); only then are proxy reconstructions and their inherent quantitative and qualitative implications accepted by the community.
While there are a few quant funds (Renaissance being most prominent) that evidently make a very good living exploiting minor price efficiencies,
correlations etc, on balance the weak - form EMH has proved rather
robust and is widely accepted as a reasonable approximation
of reality.
This curve is statistically speaking a «random walk», with no
robust statistical
correlation with atmospheric CO2, which has seen no cycles but has increased at a fairly constant CAGR
of around 0.4 % per year since measurements started at Mauna Loa in 1958 and at an estimated somewhat slower rate before this, based on ice core data.
Such concerns, however, are tangential to the global mean temperature signature
of oceanic natural variability, which is
robust and independent
of spatial
correlations that might obscure the identification
of the precise geographical source
of such variability.
Caldwell regarded a proposed emergent constraint as not credible if it lacks an identifiable physical mechanism; is not
robust to change
of model ensemble; or if its
correlation with ECS is not due to its proposed physical mechanism.

However, the lack
of an apparent
robust statistical
correlation linking observed temperature to observed atmospheric CO2 makes the case for CO2 causation for the observed warming weak, and the case for AGW as a potential threat even weaker.
VS has shown that the
correlation between empirically observed atmospheric CO2 and «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature» is not statistically
robust, and that the postulation
of causation is thereby invalidated.
What is lacking are a) a statistically
robust correlation between atmospheric CO2 and global temperature (original topic
of this thread) and b) empirical data based on physical observations to support the AGW premise.
«A
robust statistical
correlation with atmospheric CO2» is not the holy grail

In simple terms, this tells me that the presence
of a unit root rules out a deterministic trend and that the
correlation between GHG and temperature is, therefore, not statistically
robust, thereby raising serious questions regarding the case for causation.
Here, we review recent work that has demonstrated a
robust cross-national
correlation between the relative frequency
of variants in these genes and the relative degree
of individualism — collectivism in each population, suggesting that collectivism may have developed and persisted in populations with a high proportion
of putative social sensitivity alleles because it was more compatible with such groups.
Moreover, GLMM is
robust to unequal group sizes, can deal with unequally spaced data collection points, does not require equal variances at each time point or equal covariances between all pairs
of time points, and is able to account for
correlations among repeated measurements.
