Or not.

The ice core date shows perfect correlation when temperature and CO2 spike together. This fact solidly proves that the data acquisition method is trustworthy. If we simply dragged the entire temperature line until the "lag" disappeared, we'd lose all the slopes where temperature and CO2 rise together. However if we begin to drag the temperature, we hit a worse problem. How far can we drag it? In the Shakun graph, the red line becomes the blue line by being nudged around by a mere 2 000 years. It is absolutely nowhere enough to make all the lag disappears in the Ice Core. It is barely a pixel. The scales of the ice core graph and the Shakun graph are completely different.

Despite all this, the Shakun graph is very clear: global temperature follows CO2. It is a very small segment, very limited, but that's what it shows. If we stretch this data to make a statement about global climate, if temperature always follow CO2, then the Ice Core data must be wrong, very wrong, completely wrong. Wrong by thousands upon thousands of years all over the place. Either that, or perhaps the Shakun data needs to be look at more closely.
