Wait, what?: "...despite the fact that CO2 was higher, the Earth was losing energy at a higher rate to space"

The Inconvenient Skeptic » Misunderstanding of the Global Temperature Anomaly

Finally I have to get a dig in at CO2. In January of 2013 it was 395 ppm and in 1985 it was 50 points lower at 345 ppm. So despite the fact that CO2 was higher, the Earth was losing energy at a higher rate to space. CO2 was not blocking the energy from escaping despite all the claims that increased CO2 prevents heat from escaping the Earth. The Earth 30 years later was losing a significantly larger amount of energy to space than it was in the past.
