"Scientists told Nixon "if CO2 goes up by X in the next 30 years, average temperatures will go up by Y"."
CO2 didn't go up as much as was predicted. It's only increased by about half as much. If the relationship is non-linear, much of the temperature increases could be loaded into the second half of CO2 rise.
Anyway, it was 1960s science. They had far less data, primitive tools, etc.
