Therefore, temperature is not a function of CO2, The inverse is true.

May be. CO2 levels seem to rise as temperatures rise, and fall when they drop. Notice there are drastic differences in temperature for the same CO2 levels.

Perhaps the largest CO2 sinks on the planet, “the oceans” do not respond to absorption and release of CO2 in a linear rate

You ever notice a soda loses its fizz quickly as it warms?

I bet it’s ability to absorb CO2 as it cools is at a lesser rate.

I propose a federal grant, that I may research this phenomena!

Hysteresis is not uncommon in nature, but don’t make a common error—forgetting that what was measured was a proxy variable. Temperature wasn’t measured directly, so other variables come into play...such as ice coverage, etc. And these are only the beginnings of considerations.

The biggest sink of CO2 is the ocean. Cold water holds more CO2 than warm water, as anybody can observe with a warm can of Coke versus a cold can. As the oceans get warmer, they release more CO2. I'm going to guess there is far more CO2 in the oceans than in the atmosphere.
