Too many big words, huh Tom?

I am sorry. I tried to simplify the concepts for you. I guess I failed. I can't really find any "climate change for 8 year olds" that doesn't simplify things too much.

As to your

Any analysis of past ice core data show CO2 changes lagging temperature.

Taro likes to trot this one out.To someone who doesn't understand what they are looking at, this might sound reasonable. Given your demonstrated lack of understanding of the processes involved, well...

What the ice cores tell you is there is some initial warming due to changes to the Earth's orbit. That much is true. But, as ice melts and the oceans warm, they release CO2. Just as I told you before. At that point, the CO2 level and the temperature start to track in lockstep. No more delay.

Then you drift off into irrelevancy about the ice crystals and water. Then you throw out this howler

You will see no difference in the heating of air in a glass box based upon the amount of CO2 within.

Complete and utter bullshit. You should watch this video.

It is an experiment done by kids. Probably well above your level, but...

The fact of the matter is that this has been recognized since the 1800s. The idea of climate change dates back to the turn of the 20th century. It wasn't until Republicans decided to politicize the concept in the 1990s that anybody questioned this. The experiments had been run. The observations had been made. The only questions had to do with degree. Questioning it is like questioning evolution...

Oh right. Some of you nitwits question that, too.
