Hey, Jo, I enjoyed reading your clever wriggling in your efforts to
make plainasthenoseonyourface statistics say something else than what
they plainly say. But, in the end, when one series lags another and
there is a causal connection, the plain truth is always that the
lagged series, in this case CO2 levels in the atmosphere, are caused
by the leading series, in this case global warming.


Yes, global warming events can be triggered by factors other than CO2
emissions. For example, many of these trigger events were small increases of
solar flux due to Milankovitch cycles. However, once an initial warming has
occurred and caused some greenhouse enhancing CO2 release there are several
strong positive feedback systems which ensure that the temperatures and CO2
levels will continue to rise long after the initial trigger event has ended.

The current trigger event is, itself, a significant release of CO2 caused by
human activities.

Repeat: Global warming causes CO2 emissions. CO2 emissions do not,
repeat not, cause global warming. Whole "environmentally concerned"
empires fall on that truth.


Repeating something does not make it true.

The greenhouse properties of CO2 can easily be demonstrated in any
reasonably equipped physics lab and are also well explained at the molecular
level. So, perhaps you could explain the mechanism that prevents CO2, a
known greenhouse gas, from acting as a greenhouse gas ?
