(b) A reasonable prediction for the atmospheric CO
2
concentration for the
year 2030 is 450 ppm. Calculate the increase in the radiative forcing
associated with the predicted CO
2
increase between 2010 and 2030.
(c) Compare average time rates of change of ∆
F
(CO
2
) for each of the two
periods 1800-2010 and 2010-2030 in units of W/(m
2
yr).
