At the termination, CO2 follows dT exactly, but at the inception CO2 does not follow temperature down for 14,218 years. Full glacial conditions came into being without falling CO2 providing any of the climate forcing.

It’s like twin carburetors, if you tweak the adjustments just right, the models will cover this too! Somebody said “Give me four parameters and I will draw an elephant, give me five and I will add the tail.”
That’s why it’s SCIENCE people, because it’s never wrong!
This is a worthwhile read. Thanks!
Looks to me that glacial termination is more rapid than glacial onset. Any idea why?
While there is great wailing and lamentation about CO2 being harmful, I read an article in a recent issue of Science which describes how it can be used in a certain industrial application.
A group of researchers is investigating how steam turbines could eventually be replaced by smaller machines that use carbon dioxide as the working fluid. It has suitable thermodynamic properties which would make those smaller turbines more efficient while producing the same amount of power.
This has intriguing possibilities.
Lets say it takes longer to build something than it takes to burn to down.
Murray Salby (that Prof who was thrown out of an Oz Uni for having “wrong” views) has stuff on this. Various lectures on YouTube etc. One of his (convincing IMO) points is that temperature change causes CO2 emissions, rather than the other way around. Be prepared to take a while to follow what he’s saying but well worth it.
The only documented scientific evidence of how elevated CO2 affects us is in greening planet Earth (not politically) and improving crop yields. The most important chemical reaction on Earth is this: CO2+2H2O+photons —– CH2O+O2. This is photosynthesis.
One possible hypothesis on the more powerful causal agent in Glaciation / de-glaciation is: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/04/09/an-engineers-explanation-of-climate-change/
Vostok … very INCONVENIENT ice cores, so they are mostly ignored by the IPCC frauds. And … they … are also … “Russian” … aren’t they ? Hmmmm … yep … just another “Russian HACK” … this time … of the climate change data.
In the old days the Effect usually follows the cause. Not so with AGW. It’s magic I tell ya! Magic. Now if you buy 4 boxes of snake oil right now I’ll throw in the 5th and a lollipop to suck on.

Since when has the Khmer Vert been persuaded by science?
