The trouble is that global temperature measurements are from satellites and only extend back to about 1975, and global co2 measurements are non existent since they are only recorded at one location in Hawaii and only extend back to the 1950's.

AGW is a hypothesis that makes sense, namely: — GHGs absorb outgoing radiation, thereby contributing to warming (GH theory)-- CO2 is a GHG (as is water vapor plus some minor GHGs)-- CO2 concentrations have risen (mostly since measurements started in Mauna Loa in 1959)-- global temperature has risen since 1850 (in ~ 30 - year warming cycles with ~ 30 - year cycles of slight cooling in between)-- humans emit CO2 and other GHGs — ergo, human GHG emissions have very likely been a major contributor to higher GHG concentrations, very likely contributing to the observed warming

only since the mid-1960s that the instrumentation has been stable enough and sufficiently well documented for these measurements to be of use for estimating global temperature changes.

And even if they corrected their methods; which they can't do, because it would take all the money on the planet to buy enough thermometers; it is all for naught, since there is no physical cause and effect connection between a local surface or near surface Temperature measurement, and the energy flows that are occurring at that location at that time; so mean global temperature tells us nothing about whether the earth is gaining or losing total energy.

And the actual scientific truth about global temperature change is not difficult to determine, since all it takes to analyze temperatures is to download the NOAA / NASA satellite temperature datasets and then plot the measurements using Microsoft Excel.

Measurement sites form the core input of the data set for calculating this «global mean temperature» (whatever that actually means), but the measurements from these sites is accurate at best to the nearest 1 degree, in actual practice around the nearest 5 degrees since many are reading off mercury thermometers — and this condition increases in frequency the further back in time you go.
