The complicated part is figuring out how much heat is absorbed from the sun on the way down, how much of that would have been absorbed by the other gasses and the earth if there were no CO2, and how much more heat the CO2 can be absorbed from the earth radiating its heat out to the atmosphere and to space. It is also often represented as linear, when it cannot be linear. That is it will take more CO2 to warm another degree from the first, that is because when a molecule absorbs heat from a molecule, then that is heat that cannot be absorbed by another.
