Yet some people all too readily abandon logic and take that to mean that increasing CO2 in the absence of
a initial change in insolation will not warm the atmosphere and thereby change climate.
Not exact matches
It's the same series of an
initial forcing (
change in insolation due to Milankovitch orbital cycles) being amplified by reinforcing feedbacks (
change in albedo,
change in temperature and partial pressure regulating both CO2 and H2O), but
in reverse from an exit from a glacial period.
Nor did you do a search, which would have turned up: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/04/the-lag-between-temp-and-co2/ which would have explained that
in fact, contrary to the propaganda from your neocon mothership, Gore does
in fact mention the lag and correctly attributes the reason to the fact that
initial warming
in past epochs was most often to slight
changes in insolation.
