The graph clearly shows one is related to the other. And I'm up for playing Devil's Advocate also. Are CO2 levels the cause of temperature increase, or is the temperature increase the cause CO2 levels? Discuss!

Edit: Upon further examination of the graph, there appears to be spikes in the CO2 levels approxmately every 100,000 years and as it stands right now, the current spike doesn't appear out of place. Also, is it just me, or is there in fact a slight lag between the temperature change and CO2 levels?

Edit 2: nm. I see the location of the current CO2 level heh. Has anyone ever performed an experiment involving CO2 and surface temperature? Again I would think other polllutants like sulphur and chlorine ions levels making total sense in global warming. But to me, CO2 comes off as being so harmless, being such a stable substance and all.
