Chapter 4, Problem 112(choose chapter or problem)
Radiative forcing, R, measures the influence of carbon dioxide in altering the additional solar radiation trapped in Earth’s atmosphere. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990 estimated k to be 6.3 in the radiative forcing equation
(a) Use the equation R = 6.3 ln to determine the radiative forcing R (in watts per square meter to the nearest tenth) expected by the IPCC if the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere doubles from its preindustrial level.
(b) Determine the global temperature increase T, to the nearest tenth, that the IPCC predicted would occur if atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were to double, given T(R) = 1.03R.
