Professor David Archer has a new paper in Climatic Change in which he considers what would have happened if there had been less carbon dioxide in the natural atmosphere than there turned out to be. Climate changes kick in strongly when the natural concentration changes significantly, which takes longer if there is more to start with. The natural CO2 acts like a fuse, which we lit in about the year 1800 with the onset of the industrial revolution, and which has taken up to now basically to reach the bomb. A reviewer called it a new field — Astrosociology.
