This is supposed to explain why CO2 lags temperature rise? You are saying that when it gets warmer we put on more blankets?!? That makes no sense at all. You have nor explained why it starts to heat before the CO2 increases and why CO2 continues to rise after the heating stops. That would only happen if the heat is causing the CO2 not the other way around. Blankets make no difference to that. You state that CO2 is a blanket and it doesn’t create heat.
