Understanding Vostok CO 2 , one of four key GHGs, doesn’t just affect temperature – it regulates the operating temperature of the biosphere. It is part of a biogeochemical thermostat - the last thing that you would tinker with! For over 750,000 years there has been a near perfect correlation between CO 2 , temperature, and sea level rise. It is a very complex relationship => Coupled Carbon Cycle Climate Model feedback.
