It should always be pointed out that the rise in carbon dioxide levels
over the years of monitoring has been very much larger than the rise in
temperature over the same period.
...
Relative to what? ... I don't know how to interpret this statement.
Relative to the initial temperature and concentartion at the beginning of
the monitoring period. Sorry, I thought that would be clear from context.
The (relative) increase in temperature is only about 0.02%, and the CO2
concentration has increased by about 14% since 1958 (see, for example,
http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/earth/waton/mauna.html).
