The climate responds slowly to changes in CO2 levels, so even if all carbon emissions stopped today, global temperatures would keep rising and other climate impacts would continue to be felt for decades or centuries to come.

The point is: it's widely recognized that CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase as a result of temperature increases, a positive feedback effect.

Observational data suggest that doubling atmospheric CO2 levels will increase the surface temperature by about 1 ° C, not the much larger values that were originally assumed in mainstream models.

We know from laws of physics and lab measurements that the CO2 levels have been increasing and that CO2 absorb infra red radiation.

For example, if increasing CO2 levels from 0.04 % to 0.08 % causes a warming of 1 °C, it would be necessary to increase the CO2 levels from 0.08 % to 0.16 % to increase temperature by another 1 °C.
