Interesting, but it seems the reliability and accuracy of his methods  
(isotopic ratios) are not nearly as robust as the more direct methods  
used for the past 800,000 years (gas and pollen trapped in ice  
cores), which indicate a very strong correlation between CO2 and  
temperature.

In other words, the farther back you look, the fuzzier things get.
