Carbon dioxide levels ALWAYS lag behind temperature rise

Carbon dioxide levels always lag behind global temperature rise and sometimes by as much as 800 years. That proves Co2 can not be the cause. It looks very good on the graph until you see the correlation is not direct. There is another factor which is the Ocean, it covers 2/3rds of the planet. It stores Carbon and Oxygen as well as other elements in a richer isotope ratios because C3 photosynthesis favors more C12 evaporating into the Atmos. The detritus of plankton and fish fall to the Ocean depths where it is not recycled for some 400 years. Plankton and mollusks make calcium carbonate shells that adjust the pH of the sea in proportion to the carbon dioxide dissolved in the surface of the water. This balance is dependent upon the health of the plankton. So eutrophication, toxins, oil spills and plastic debris will adversely affect phytoplankton health with disastrous results for the food chain. Let us not forget that over 2000 atomic bombs were detonated between 1945 and 1980 with consequent hole in the Ozone over the Arctic.Needless to say ecosystems in the South Pacific are now poisoned for hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe this can account for some heat and radioactivity. Maybe just a little bit I think. Also the Tunguska event over Siberia was a near miss of the planet that was equivalent to 1000 Hiroshima bombs exploding. The temperature spiked right after and kept going until 1940. No Co2 is not the problem. We need to have Nuclear disarmament before we are all wasted. CO2 is never going to kill us until after the planet is wasted by Nuclear War. Then there will be no more Trees and the air will be toxic to breathe. Let us teach our children well. The Sun has been strong and diverted much of the Galactic Cosmic rays that would otherwise come through the Ozone hole but now it is Quiet. The Solar magnetic flux doubled by a factor of 2 since 1908. So we have more heat but less damaging cosmic rays which can mutate genes and cause cancer. The Ozone hole has closed somewhat. Let's keep it that way. get rid of the atom bombs and smokestacks that emit smog and soot. Plant Trees that will provide more Oxygen and Water, homes for birds, shade, high carbon soil, streams, snow on the mountain, fresh spring water in the river deltas and healthy phytoplankton for seafood we eat. It is a cycle that we are part of. So teaching our kids keeps it going around for generations. Jacques Costeau and Rachel Carson led the way. We should follow. Peace
