Algore's 10y doomsday clock about to run out.

It was ten years ago that Algore predicted that in 10 years the world would pass beyond return to Global Warming and irreversible destruction. Rush Limbaugh constructed the now famous Doomsday clock:

The Doomsday clock has close to 20 days to go. What happened to the temperature in that time?

There has not been a great deal of change during that time. The surface record shows a slight upward trend, but nothing of the magnitude forecast by Algore.

NOAA's estimated carbon dioxide vs temperature data show that Algore got the relationship backwords: it is high temperature that triggers a lowering of the carbon dioxide:

The data suggest that both, the atmospheric temperature and the carbon dioxide are driven by another factor and that high carbon dioxide is not causative   of higher temperatures. The best theory is put forth by a Danish scientist who claims that sunspots interact with cosmic radiation and this alters the climate. High level of sunspots reduce the cosmic radiation getting through, which reduces the ionization needed to produce cloud formation. That let's in more sunshine which raises the temperature. As the temperature rises, more water evaporates and more carbon dioxide forms from plants.
