Tony Blair's participation in the Irak debacle was entirely in his capacity as a lackey of George W,Bush - Britain would never had invaded Irak on its own, and the US would still have invaded Irak even if Tony Blair had had more sense and more backbone.
Tony Blair took the UK into Irak as a US lap-dog - he didn't care about the reality of WMD's any more than Bush did, and even if he had he was in no position to point out that Bush was talking nonsense.
At least they have got something right.
The Ice Ages are a little too close together for geological carbon capture to be all that important. It does become more important when you go back further into the geological past.
What you said was
I'd foolishly assumed that you had some minimal understanding of what was going on. In the ice core data, the Milankovitch mechanism eventually reduces the solar heat being absorbed by the earth, which cools the planet a little, oceans included. The cooler oceans can dissolve more CO2 so the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere decreases, along with the water vapour, reducing greenhouse warming, so the oceans cool some more. Because the positive feedback is low enough to avoid run-away cooling, the earth's surface temperature eventually settles down at new - lower - equilibrium and stays there until the Milankovitch cycle injects a little bit more solar radiation and reverses the process.
If you didn't already appreciate this rather basic point you should be spending your time learning more about the subject, rather than wasting our time by posting your half-baked ideas.
