Part I showed how ice core drillings in Vostok/Antarctica going back 420,000 years show undeniable correlation between CO2 and temperature in the atmosphere throughout numerous cooling/warming cycles.

It’s noteworthy that Al Gore used this same data in support of his core argument that carbon is driving global warming in his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, but failed to point out that CO2 changes lagged behind temperature changes by 800 years (perhaps another inconvenient truth). Part II discusses how some scientists see solar and clouds (water vapor) as alternative (to CO2) drivers of climate change.
