That is not what I’ve done. I wish I could find Gore’s graph he used in his movie to explain this better. It was HIS assertion, that CO2 and temp are directly related. The lines show almost identical changes in direction and magnitude up UNTIL PRESENT DAY.
The CO2 line for present day is a nearly vertical line with about double the length of the CO2 change shown from “mile of ice” to “pleasant day”. These were the units of measurement he gave so I had to assume that a “pleasant day” in the summer for a city like Detroit is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Since it is Gore’s assertion that increasing temps and increased atmospheric CO2 are directly related in magnitude and direction, then the only math required, using the unit of measurement of 80 was (80+80X2).
The bottom of his temp line he said represented “being buried in a mile of ice” in cities such as Detroit. The peak of his temp line he represented as “a pleasant day” in the same North American cities. He then goes to the CO2 line above it (the same line that has been proportional in magnitude and direction up to present day), points out the near vertical CO2 line representing the increase of atmospheric CO2, makes a joke about the skeptics because we can just all see at this point what the implications are. The implications being that one day it will be too hot on earth for human life. Then he moves on without ever addressing the fact that if the 2 lines are directly related over time in magnitude and direction (which was his assertion and what the 2 lines show up until present day) that temps would already be around 240 degrees Fahrenheit in cities like Detroit.
