To claim that the CO2 lag disproves the warming effect of CO2 displays a lack of understanding of the processes that drive Milankovitch cycles. A review of the peer reviewed research into past periods of deglaciation tells us several things: Deglaciation is not initiated by CO2 but by orbital cycles CO2 amplifies the warming which cannot be explained by orbital cycles alone CO2 spreads warming throughout the planet
Every model that has put forward is wrong. We had the fraudsters put forth models in the 70s that were presented as fact that greatly exaggerate the amount of warming that would happen. We had the fraudsters put forth models in the 80s that were presented as fact that greatly exaggerate the amount of warming that would happen. We had the fraudsters put forth models in the 90s that were presented as fact that greatly exaggerate the amount of warming that would happen. The models have been wrong over and over again. It would be one thing if these were simple mistakes, but they weren't simple mistakes. It was done deliberately to enact laws that would handicap the US economy. Once again, if it is such a problem, then why don't you lead by example because you are really nothing more than hypocrite. Get your own house in order.
while its true in the ice core records indicate co2 also lags warming on long term cycles the lag below has little or nothing to do with 20,000 year milankovitch cycles as you can clearly see in the second image below co2 follows the change in ocean warming and cooling very closely and lags by one year. click the link read the paper... see the data. you can find it free on the net.

I presented the big paper on that subject to you here on ET. It came out a few years ago and was by Shakun. We read it and reviewed it. That paper clearly showed that the pole warmed first. Then co2 increased... then it seems other parts of the earth warmed. 1. you could not say that the warming in the pole did not cause the continued warming by effecting the tides. 2. Shakun... the author speculated it was co2 doing the warming... but there is no scientific proof of that. However, by the same speculation you could also show that towards the end of the warming cycle co2... starts to cause cooling.
No the general consensus of climate scientists since the mid seventies has been generally correct that AGW was and is occuring. The "models" have predicted warming and it is occurring. "It was done deliberately to enact laws that would handicap the US economy. " ^Excuse me, but that's just fucking nuts. And you still haven't answered. What is wrong with the things I presented showing the obvious common sense science of AGW? Surely you can grasp it.
In the past the rising CO2 levels caused higher temperatures. Were it not for the CO2 increases the temp changes would be a fraction of what they were. Never in the past has such large amounts of CO2 been introduced into the atmosphere so quickly as is happening now. We are seeing the effects.
