Professor William Happer used the Equation of Transfer to produce modelling spectra that match measurements. He calculated a doubling of human caused CO2 over the century. Using the Stefan Boltzman formula this change modelled + 0.71C global temperature. Global greening is at a high demonstrating plants thrive in higher CO2. Bjorn Lomborg demonstrates it is more cost-effective to use taxpayer’s money for adaptation to mitigate the risk of severe weather episodes eg Maintain forests properly with firebreaks produces less fires & less severe fires. Burnt area of global forest 1900 - 2020 has decreased from about 4.0% to about 2.50%
