Jun 11, 2012 at 6:21	comment	added	Henry		Tacroy: that does affect my point that a constant CO2 concentration corresponds to a close to constant temperature in the graph. In fact global temperature has been essentially flat since 2000
Jun 10, 2012 at 22:32	comment	added	Tacroy		@Henry the IPCC AR4 was published in 2007 and the yellow/orange line shows how much temperature would rise from the year 2000 had emissions stopped in 2000. That shows a rise of about ~0.5°C which is not trivial, certainly not constant. Atmospheric CO2 drives a positive feedback cycle of warming that isn't linear.
Jun 10, 2012 at 22:01	comment	added	Henry		The orange line on the graph suggests that a constant CO2 concentration might lead to almost constant temperatures so presumably a reduced CO2 concentration might lead to reduced temperatures
