There is a good scientific site that debunks all of the favourites and then some.
Go browse and you will find answers to most, if not all, misconceptions.
Wrt your CO2/temp question

Bell Ringer - that isn't a good scientific site - at best it is an admission that temperature and CO2 levels don't correlate, at worst it is a fudge to say 'Oh yes, the temperature went up first and that drove the CO2 up but that extra CO2 is the real bad boy - without any temperature increase there would be no CO2 increase!
Have a close look at their graph - from 22000 years ago to 10.000 years ago there was a change in temperature of 9 degrees and a corresponding increase in CO2 ppm from 180 to 260.
Now apply that relationship to the last 70 years where we have had a bigger increase in CO2 (about 120 ppm) which, if there is true correlation, should equate to a temperature increase of 13 degrees - where is that then???
Their graph shows temperature up to the present but the CO2 graph stops at 2000 years ago - and that is supposed to be scientific? It is designed to show a rapid increase in CO2 (remember the hockey stick?) as the slope of the graph is at its steepest but the temperature remains steady - no correlation and their own graph doesn't match their own conclusions.
There is much made about changes in the earth's orbit many thousands of years ago driving the change in sunlight and temperature but no actual figures (perhaps documenting the increase in solar energy) we are just expected to take it as fact.
If that is the condescending best the 'scientific' community can do to stop people asking questions - and the burden of proof is most definitely on them - then I hang my head in despair.
