Study: Temperature Changes Have Determined CO2 Changes Since The Phanerozoic
by Kenneth Richard 1 day ago
Popular claims that carbon dioxide (CO2) changes drive temperature changes currently or throughout the distant past are “based on imagination and climate models full of assumptions.” [emphasis, links added]
A comprehensive new study details a stochastic assessment determination of the sequencing of CO2 variations versus temperature variations since the 1950s, over the last 2,000 years (the Common Era), and throughout the last 541 million years.
The robust conclusion is that the causality direction – with the understanding that causes lead and effects lag – clearly shows the temperature changes lead and CO2 changes lag on yearly, decadal, and centennial/millennial scales.
In other words, “the reverse causality direction [CO2]→T should be excluded.”
