Abstract

An analysis of Earth's historical temperature record, together with data pertaining to historical increases in atmospheric CO₂ and other greenhouse gases, suggests that a 300 to 600 ppm doubling of the air's CO₂ content would raise the mean surface air temperature of the globe by < 0.4°C.
