The entire IPCC website, their reports, peer reviewed, show that rising CO2 is driving the recent warming, to a degree X and certainty Y. You simply choose to fall back on the "not how it used to happen" argument.You asked if I had peer reviewed science showing co2 lags temperature change.
I posted it. What you wrote now is just red herring.
Every agw scientists knows co2 levels lag change in temperature.
Yet your team is arguing/hoping to find science showing the laggard causes the leader.
Its possible co2 somehow magnifies natural warming caused by the sun and tides.
(it probably does during the warming phase after and ice age....) But... its going to be very hard for science to show man made co2 causes warming because our system is complex and co2 also causes cooling.
If you have some science I will change my writing.
I would not bother me at all if science could prove man made co2 causes warming. I just don't want to see carbon output being used to rob our kids of liberty.
Back to the blanket analogy... my wife used to add or subtract a blanket, and I'd warm or cool accordingly. But now I add or subtract the blanket, and I warm or cool accordingly, but it's not me causing it now because it has always been my wife on blanket duty?
