The solubility of CO₂ in water is inversely proportional to temperature

Since CO₂ is soluble in water and the oceans cover a majority of the Earth's surface, the oceans sequester more CO₂ than any other CO₂ sink.

Because of the inverse solubility of CO₂ with temperature, the colder the oceans get, the more CO₂ they can absorb.

Conversely, when the oceans get warmer, they expel CO_2.

Atmospheric CO₂ therefore follows global temperatures, it does not cause them.

You can see the yearly global atmospheric CO₂ fluctuation as the oceans warm and cool with the seasons in the NOAA graph below.

The "settled science" that CO₂ causes "climate change" is therefore criminal sophistry.

"...Atmospheric CO2 therefore follows global temperatures, it does not cause them...."

That was the upshot of Michael Mann's "hockey stick" diagram.

If you delved into the numbers behind this chart, CO2 levels lag behind temperature (IIRC) about 500 years.
