Looks to me like there's an undeniable correlation between CO2, methane, and temperature. The question is, which event causes which, or alternately, what other event causes all three? It would be nice to know whether they can tell from the data which of the three changes first. If temp changes first, it makes it kind of difficult to say that CO2 caused the temp change. OTOH, if CO2 changes first, it's possible that it contributed to temp change.
