7. Research suggests that over the last few hundreds of thousands of years, changes in atmospheric CO, concentration sometimes lagged behind a temperature increase by perhaps 1000 years--indicating that "feedback" loops associated with a warmer climate might lead to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere rather than the other way around. (a) Are any such "lags" visible in Figure 24-5? (b) Looking at Figures 24-1 and 24-2, does the recent increase in global temperature exhibit such a lag?
