Question:

Assume that the linearized analysis of climate leading to (34.46)

1 0.6°C/(W/m2) -3.2 + 1.6


is correct, and F ≅ 3.7 W/m2. Assume also that climate models correctly predict that quadrupling of CO2 levels would give a temperature shift ofΔT4× ≅ 6.4 C. Use a quadratic function to fit the change in temperature as a function of the logarithm of the multiplicative increase μ in atmospheric CO2 levels to estimate the change in temperature with a doubling of pre-industrial carbon dioxide levels.
