the ice core data is actually one of the number 1 debunking arguments against the "carbon causes global warming"
The temperature actually leads the carbon concentration, ie the temperature goes up THEN the c02 goes up, not the other way around. Typically let by 200-300 years. This is due to (oversimplified) that the oceans store c02, and release it into the atmosphere more at higher temperatures. Since the oceans are so huge, it takes several hundred years for the oceans to warm up.
