First,
for changing just CO2 forcing (or CH4, etc, or
for a non-GHE forcing, such as a change in incident solar radiation,
volcanic aerosols, etc.), there will be other GHE radiative «forcings» (feedbacks, though in the context of measuring their radiative effect, they can be described as having radiative forcings of x W / m2 per change in surface T), such as water vapor feedback, LW
cloud feedback, and also, because GHE depends on the vertical temperature distribution, the lapse rate feedback (this generally refers to the tropospheric lapse rate, though changes in the position of the tropopause and changes in the stratospheric temperature could also be considered lapse - rate feedbacks
for forcing at TOA; forcing at the tropopause with stratospheric adjustment takes some of that into account; sensitivity to forcing at the tropopause with stratospheric adjustment will generally be different from sensitivity to forcing without stratospheric adjustment and both will generally be different from forcing at TOA before stratospheric adjustment; forcing at TOA after stratospehric adjustment is identical to forcing at the tropopause after stratospheric adjustment).
The 1991
volcanic eruptions (Pinatubo, Hudson) injected 23 Megatonnes of SO2 into the stratosphere, leaving a sulfurous
cloud that circled the globe
for about 2 years before finally settling out (together with a large quantity of fine particulate matter which rapidly settled out) The sulfurous
cloud caused average global temperatures to drop by 0.55 deg.

for when analysis of ice cores is completed, or
for that matter when computer models, and / or proxy studies are completed.
