Say one time a bushfire is started by a lightning strike.
And another time a bushfire is started by arson.
Would you say bushfires are always started by lightning strikes?
Or would you say bushfires are always started by arson?
I'm hoping you wouldn't say either.
I'm hoping you would say sometimes bushfires are started by lightning strikes, sometimes arson, and sometimes something else started the bushfire.
It's similar with CO2 and Temperature.
Sometimes Temperature leads CO2, and sometimes CO2 leads Temperature.
Yeah I can find lots of papers where temperature led CO2 for some events, but I can also find lots of papers where CO2 led temperature for other events.
Those events don't contradict each other. Much as the denialist blogs want them to.
So when Temperature changes, it always has a cause. Sometimes the cause is CO2, sometimes it's something else.
