It is shown in this comment that considering the Mauna Loa observation of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the mean near surface temperature anomalies for the period from the beginning of the seventies to recent years only is, clearly, a source of misinterpretation. If we consider the whole period of available data (1958 - 2004), we obtain results which differ from those presented by Rahmstorf et al. It is also shown that in 1988 when the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was established there was certainly no correlation between the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the mean near surface temperature anomalies, neither on the annual time scale nor on the monthly time scale.
