... What does this plot mean? Increases in greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O and Halocarbons) between 1750 through today (2000) have caused a 2.4 Watts per meter squared increase in the earth’s radiation budget. This by itself would warm the earth’s surface. Radiative forcing = 2.4 0.2 or between 2.2 an ...
