That wasn't the question. This was.

What’s the mechanism for CO2 to lead temperature throughout the geologic record prior to the industrial revolution? Because I have yet to hear an explanation for how that consistently happened. The only mechanism I am aware of is the solubility of CO2 in water versus temperature. And that mechanism requires temperature to lead atmospheric CO2.
As we all know, there are two processes involving CO2 and temperature. 1) CO2 added to the atmosphere increases the heat retention of the greenhouse effect and raises the world's temperatures. 2) Increasing temperatures reduce gas solubility in liquids so less CO2 is held in the world's oceans. The two best reconstructions of temperatures throughout the Holocene are the works of Jeremy Shakun and Shaun Marcotte. What they found was the dominant effect throughout history is heating from Milankovitch cycle effect that then raise CO2 levels. However, they also found that pulses of CO2 from volcanism or possibly clathrate events (CH4 vice CO2, but same warming process) led to their own heating. The geological record displays both processes taking place.
And if you can't take a joke, even that bad of a joke, move on, eh?
