Years ago it was demonstrated that
CO2 was significantly higher in earth's geological past
during much
colder periods.
: the fact that the ocean was
colder during glacial
periods by itself explains only about 10 % of the
CO2 change.
If there was actually glaciation
during cold periods, glacial dust might well have blown out to sea, fertilizing large areas and producing a stronger
CO2 pump.
During the 800,000 years prior to 1750, atmospheric CO2 varied from 180 ppm during glacial (cold) up to 300 ppm during interglacial (warm) pe
During the 800,000 years prior to 1750, atmospheric

Our long ago ancestors evolved
during these hot
periods, which are far nearer the norm than the current, comparitvely,
cold and
CO2 starved
period.
The fact that the earth appears to have gone through huge changes in atmospheric
CO2 concentration over geologic eras, while the estimated temps went from 12degC to 22 deg C regardless of «Snowball Earth» or «Cretaceous Hot House» with both hot and
cold periods occurring
during both high and low
CO2 regimes and both with and without ice caps argues very strongly that we do not understand the climate mechanism at all.
