In the Vostok data the temperature falls first and then the CO2 falls. If the CO2 released amplified the increased warming trend then why would the temperature suddenly reverse absent a CO2 drop? BTW, I am really really disappointed in the quality of all the replies. It's mostly ad hominem and hand-waving. This is the one reply that's not but it doesn't explain the behavior of the drop in temperature. Thus to sum it up: Increased temperature causes gas to become less soluble in the ocean, thus leading to increased CO2. Decreased temperature causes CO2 to become more soluble in the ocean thus leading to decreased CO2. This data shows then that CO2 increases are not enough to cause warming all by themselves or to prevent cooling all by themselves. Obviously a very large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to warming (e.g Venus's atmosphere is 96% CO2) but we're many orders of magnitude off from that (0.04% CO2). So we are left with what I like to call a Listerine argument: Listerine has been selling more over the past century, Listerine prevents tooth decay, thus Listerine is the cause of the improvement in dental health over the past century. Thus we should put Listerine in the water and implement a global tax so everyone can have Listerine.
