DomeC TEMP, CO2 and CH4

Notes:

As was seen in the Vostok data, the DomeC data illustrates the same temperature to CO2 to CH4 dependencies attributed to biology. The only difference is that the delay from temperature changes to CH4 changes is a little shorter, but still too long to explain without evolutionary biology.

It's important to point out that relative to the greenhouse effect, changes in CO2 and CH4 concentrations have an immediate effect on the average temperature. While these effects are theoretically finite, atmospheric absorption physics confirms that they are far too small and fast acting to be seen in the ice core data.

The recent satellite record confirms that despite the rapid increases in CO2, there are no trends in the average temperature variability that correspond to these increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
