" what you are too stupid to know is that whatever speculations anyone had back then they only had xt computers for simulations and no satellite data."
Actually, they had serial measurements of temperature and CO2, which was enuf, and Arrhenius didn't wait around for the invention of the computer before writing his paper rsc.org

"The speculated high sensitivity is bullshit and has been revised down and down and down."
It really hasn't changed much....

The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report stated: Equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely in the range 1.5 °C to 4.5 °C (high confidence), extremely unlikely less than 1 °C (high confidence), and very unlikely greater than 6 °C (medium confidence).

As we can see, Arrhenius' latest estimates of climate sensitivity to changes in atmospheric CO2 as well as the timing of these changes are not only close to the range of present estimates, but they practically coincide with them.—
