a long-term decline in carbon dioxide levels isnt to blameOooohh - someone's gonna lose their magic decoder ring!
No one crosses the Goreacle!
The debate is over, why bring this up...
The Goreacle couldn't (gasp!) be...wrong...could he?

From the abstract:
“...estimates are consistent with a close linkage between atmospheric CO2 concentration and global climate, but the lack of a gradual decrease in interglacial PCO2 does not support the suggestion that a long-term drawdown of atmospheric CO2 was the main cause of the climate transition.”

CO2 is a trailing proxy. It isn't the cause of temperature change, it is the result of temperature change.

By chemically analyzing air bubbles trapped in ice,Of course, we know that ice is an absolutely impermeable material. What hogwash.

Of course, we know that ice is an absolutely impermeable material. What hogwash.You can argue with proxy data, but you can't say it is not frozen in place. What the author does do is undermine carbon dioxide as a driving force causing climate change. This data supports the idea that carbon dioxide is a lagging indicator of prior climate change.

Until about 1.2 million years ago, ice ages in the Northern Hemisphere occurred about every 40,000 years, says Jerry F. McManus, a paleoclimatologist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y. But for the past 500,000 years or so, ice ages have occurred, on average, only once every 100,000 years, he notes.
Thanks neverdem.

So if the old time line was correct we’d be due for a new ice age at any point, with the new one we would have over 60,000 years to wait.

That's one way to say it. The other is that the warm inter-glacial periods used to show up every 40,000 years and now it's every 100,000 years. It isn't that cold isn't arriving so often, it's that the cold stays around so much longer when it is here.

I think we should start calling Algore and his ilk “deniers” for denying CO2 is a trailing indicator of temperature change, not a leading indicator. The evidence is overwhelming, and it's not some computer model, it's real.
