There was a program on British tv recently that claimed that CO2 concentration lagged global temperature. This means that if you put them both on a graph together, peaks and lows of CO2 occur AFTER peaks and lows of global temperature. This is, they say, because CO2 concentration in the oceans is reduced as global temperatures increase and therefore collects in the atmosphere.
Global temperatures are, they say, driven by solar activity that is related to sunspot activity. They then produced a graph that did indeed show a very strong relationship between the two. They also produced a graph showing the relationship between CO2 and global temperatures for the same duration and the relationship was not nearly so clear?
What is the defense of CO2 driven global warming theorists to this?
