The graph that John presented was the temperature increases (calculated) vs CO2 increases, without feedbacks.
The italics are the critical difference here.

I wasn't looking at any graphs until JMR brought up that one logarithmic graph (which I still think is bogus). I only included that Royal Soc. graph (found during 'grace-period' check) because it had the same parameters as JMR's graph.

I hope to get the back to the CO2 and IR physical properties soon enough, but I need to respond to this graph stuff first, and compose....

Pyrolysis creates reduced carbon! ...Time for the next step in our evolutionary symbiosis with fire.
