Facts are facts. Selectively picking the facts you accept is intellectually dishonest.

Did CO2 start the warming trends? In many cases it did not. Did it amplify the warming trends? Yes. As did the methane released, although that would quickly be oxidized to CO2 and water.

Does this mean that increases in the CO2 levels cannot cause a warming trend? No, and it is silly to think so. Like the one paper stated, it is an amplifier. You increase the concentration and it gets warmer.

Clearly you don't understand the issues involved.

Hi Taro; The reason CO2 follows global warming by around 800 years is that it takes this long for the oceans to turn over. Increasing temperatures warm the ocean and the oceans release the CO2.

You can see the same physics by noting that hot soft drinks lose their fizz faster than cold ones.
