The Increase in CO2/Heat is getting steeper

The link between co2 emissions and warming is indisputable. 
Scientists have understood this for almost 200 years.

Scientists have scientifically known for nearly 200 years
that a trace gas like atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbs heat:

President Lyndon Johnson spoke directly to Congress on the topic on February 8, 1965, in his speech ‘Special Message to the Congress on Conservation and Restoration of Natural Beauty’:
“Air pollution is no longer confined to isolated places. This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through radioactive materials and a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.”
