To produce energy change (Joules), the forcing must exist for a time period. Temperature change is energy change divided by effective thermal capacitance. Thus a scale factor times the time-integral of the forcing produces the temperature change. <br /><br />CO2 has been considered to be a forcing. Because, during the previous glaciations and inter-glacials, the CO2 level and temperature went up and down nearly together, the temperature change is obviously not a result of a scale factor times the time integral of the CO2 level. This observation actually proves that CO2 has no significant effect on temperature at least up to about 280 ppmv.<br /><br />This same type assessment over the entire Phanerozoic (about 542 million years) demonstrates that ‘climate sensitivity’ (the average global temperature increase caused by a doubling of the CO2 level to 560 ppmv from the pre-industrial level of 280 ppmv) is not significantly different from zero.<br /><br />Search "agwunveiled" to discover the two natural factors that do explain average global temperature changes since before 1900 with 95% correlation.Dan Pangburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898549182266117774noreply@blogger.com
