CO2 is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 yrs?

Please explain the periods between 650,000 yrs ago and now, when global average temperatures were warmer than now. Or did’nt you know about them? They lasted thousands of years. Please explain, oh explainer of simple truths.

Are you even reading what I write or are you just attacking your idea of what you think I am saying?

To answer your question anyway...

Assuming CO2 was the main cause, a lag time is easily explained by the heat absorbing properties of the oceans.

If that is the case then we are in deep poo as that would tend to suggest that the temps are set to rise higher then anytime in the last 650,000 years.

But like I said, I'm not saying that.
