When Climate Change Scientists are trying to show how abnormal our current change in CO2 and Temperature is, they show a chart that looks like this:

These scientists explain how increased carbon dioxide correlates to increased temperatures. Industrialization is dumping more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we are warming at an alarming rate.
When I look at that chart, I see an increase in temperature, followed by an increase in carbon dioxide. That is not contested, and I believe correlation is not causation.
My question to you Climate Change Scientists and Believers is this. Why do CO2 levels rise after temperature rises? Look at this in a historical context, not in the past 150 years. Here's my theory, and shoot it full of holes: When temperatures rise, there is more available land mass and a more favorable environment for plants. More plants, more CO2.
Am I wrong, and why?
