The final graph shows CO2 lagging temperature change -- not leading it. This link is not working.
Why would increasing temp cause increasing CO2 ?

The four links in post 8 work for me. Try them again.

Why would increasing temp cause increasing CO2 ? One possible factor is the reduced capacity of the water in the oceans to hold CO2 as its temperature increases. A warm soda goes flat (from losing CO2) a lot quicker than a cold one does.

Increase in atmospheric temperature doesn't increase the amount of CO2. Increased ocean temperature causes an increase in the amount of CO2 released from oceans. Ocean temperature increases slower than atmosphere temperature. Thus the reason for the time lag.

Prolly because all living things and dying things emit CO2 and warm climates allow life to thrive (witness summer/vs winter)
The fact that Co2 is a function of temp is damning to the entire premise of gores theory

The oceans are the greatest dynamic CO2 sink on the planet. As they warm, the soluability of the CO2 decreases and precipitates into the atmosphere. Much like pouring a warm carbonated beverage vs a cold one--more foam, more CO2 coming out of solution from the warm beverage than the cold one.
It takes several hundred years for the water to warm up.

Warmer ocean waters can't hold as much CO2 so it comes out into the atmosphere. Also, biological activity causing the production of CO2 is greater when things are warm than when they're cold.

Why would increasing temp cause increasing CO2 ?Reduced solubility of CO2 in warming ocean water. Warm water holds less dissolved gases of all kinds. It takes a while for increased air temperature to cause increased water temperature. That is the reason for the lagging behavior.
