Although the NCDC temperature record begins in 1880, reconstructions of earlier temperatures based on climate proxies, suggest these years may be the warmest for several centuries to millennia, or longer.

So, we have 3 of the lowest sunspot numbers in the last 20 years. and 15 of the 16 warmest years in the same period. And 2007, 2008, and 2009 were among those years.
Odd.
If CO2 is THAT powerful that it can give the Earth a Fev-ah in the midst of a solar minimum, why can't you show us any lab work showing a warming by varying CO2 from 280 to 400ppm.
Maybe your temperature data is fudged and your theory fails
