The lag is a different (and mostly unresolved) problem: while the lag during warming periods is explainable as the about 800 year turnover time for deep ocean down / upwelling flows, the much longer delay of CO2 during periods of cooling towards a new ice age is difficult to explain, the more that methane does follow temperature far more closely, thus errors in ice age — gas age difference are not at the base of the lag...
