Take a look at how long it took for the temperature to change after the massive CO2 fall at the Azolla event. Based on the radiative forcing relationship between CO2 and tmeperature, the temperature should have immediately fallen by:Why do you believe I have no background in science? What is your background in science?
I said 'climate' science. And no, a petroleum engineer is not a climate scientist..
C= 5.35 * ln(3500/600) * 0.75 = 7.08 C
Looking at the oxygen isotope curve - which is well established and widely accepted for the Cenozoic - we don't see that level of temperature decrease until 12 million years later. The oxygen isotope curve is roughly 3 C per grid line.
