If my warped memory serves me correctly, 3 deg C for every doubling of CO2 content implies a logarithmic function. If CO2 is increasing at a constant rate, the temperature will increase more and more slowly as time marches on. Of course, I doubt that the rate of CO2 increase is constant; with our sorry luck, it's probably accelerating.

Of course, if AGW ultimately is a net benefit, perhaps I'll be saying "good luck" instead of "sorry luck."

You're right, it does.

Actually, I think it's closer to a linear increase right now.
