1) If we accept that the radiative forcing equations are correct and that a doubling of CO2 will cause an increase of 3.7 W / m2 and that will cause an increase in 1C we have to figure out what is the equation for normalizing this doubling of CO2 so as to get rid of the reference point Ex: doubling of CO2 from 1ppm to 2 ppm will not increase the temperature by 1C 2) Since 1980 mankind has increased fossil fuel burning by 75 % but CO2 in atmosphere has only increased 21 %.
