I believe when you fully understand the implications of the laws of physics. There is no global warming caused by the passive ability of CO2 to capture or delay cooling of the earth. It is nonexistent short term or so small that it may not outweight the increases in heat transport through convection.

Two factors increase convection. One is tiny changes in dry air density. The other is that the extinction distance of any heat wave-lengths C02 is tuned too happen even closer to any warmer radiating surface.

A smaller volume of air now absorbs the same energy. that smaller volume is warmer and thus rises more quickly.

Your guess of whatever temp increase is correct is not based upon the laws of physics. It is based upon your guess of calculations based upon nonsense equations that violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. I gave you the PDF. It takes several reading and a few hundred hours of contemplation before the simple truth becomes so obvious.
