Hmmm...  I don't think my post made it the first time. Try #2.

The argument "CO2 was acting as a "feedback" over the time period in the figure above" has always seemed very weak to me.  It appears like someone was struggling for a way to get CO2 into the forcing side of the equation and this is what they came up with.  The graph makes much more sense to me if the CO2 changes are mainly a response to the temperature changes.

These guys  shoot some holes in the Milankovitch insolation theory and present another hypothesis that seems just as plausible as what you describe above.

I don't think this issue is settled yet.

When I say that CO2 is acting as a feedback, I am indeed saying that it's a response to the warming ... but it's a response that causes further warming.

As far as the cosmic ray theory goes, I don't have a good sense of how plausible that idea is.  Overall, I agree that there are still some unresolved issues.

It sure its complicated, and not always easy to understand. This post about it was great though, and easy to read as well. Thanks.
