Monckton’s silly graph

This is the crux of Monckton’s latest anti-science, climate change denier rant. Bellow the graph was this text:

Figure 3 shows two things very clearly. First, carbon dioxide concentration is rising, and will continue to rise, in a more or less straight line; secondly, there is no correlation, and hence necessarily no causative connection, between carbon dioxide concentration and global temperature.

Not correlated?  How do we know?  All I see are two increasing trends, that may or may not be correlated. Of course since temperature and CO₂ are in different units isn’t it possible to scale the y-axis of the CO₂ graph differently to make both trends match up visually? Or to make the increase in temperature seem more rapid than the increase in CO₂? Yes both are completely possible. In fact Monckton’s entire statistical analysis consists of nothing more than a scaling the y-axis to ensure that the temperature and CO₂ trends are visually distinct. It is nothing more than a cheap visual trick to attempt to fool the naive.  It doesn’t stand up to even the most basic scrutiny.
