CO2 is only important in this discussion if you can prove it has an effect on global temperature. And that hasn't happened yet.

And who else was measuring temps over the last 500 years other than Europeans? If you look at global data that we think is accurate it shows a global drop in temp at the same time the sun went through a period of relatively low activity.
