Duh, warming first, then CO2. CO2 is a byproduct of warming oceans. Freeze the oceans, no increase in CO2 in atmosphere. I know I didn’t go to Harvard, but I’m just sayin.

I think the key point of that graph is on the downward slope of cooling which runs well in advance of any decrease in CO2 levels.

If CO2 stays high then why doesn't the temperature stay high?
