“If the quantity of carbon dioxide in the air should sink to onehalf its present percentage, the temperature would fall by4 K; a diminution by one-quarter would reduce the temperatureby 8 K. On the other hand any doubling of the percentage of Carbon dioxide in the air would raise the temperature of theEarth’s surface by 4 K, and if the carbon dioxide were increasedfour fold, the temperature would rise by 8 K.”
Logarithmic Dependence of Warming on CO2 Concentration
C = CO2 concentration; C0 = saturation concentration; S = Doubling Sensitivity

The doubling sensitivity S for greenhouse warming by CO2 is poorly known. IPCC claims S = 1.5 K to 4.5 K.Could be even smaller!

Climate models are not working! Far-wing lineshapes (forcing DQ2) are one of many possible causes. Clouds (feedback f) probably even more important
