We need to establish that we are talking about the same thing.

Because CO2 is not the only factor operating on multimillion year time
scales does not mean it is *uncorrelated* with global mean
temperature.

There's a great deal else that concerns me about how you are thinking
about this, but we can start there.

Please define "direct correlation" as you are using it, because in the
usual sense of the "correlation" what you say is unsupported and, in
fact, not supportable.
