The tables below are from Gene R. H. Fry, "Albedo Changes Drive 4.9 to 9.4°C Global Warming by 2400", Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change, 2:1. 2020
Below is later analysis by Dr. Fry, flowing from "Albedo Changes Drive 4.9 to 9.4°C Global Warming by 2400". Some climate scientists observe that temperature rise is proportional to cumulative global CO2 emissions. However, the fit is not perfect; in fact, it is a poorer fit than using also methane and especially sulfate levels. (See Sulfates page later in this section.) The good fit with cumulative CO2 masks the better fit when other factors, especially albedo changes, are considered.
The 5 biggest factors affecting global temperatures over the past 40+ years.
The horizontal axis is cumulatifve CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. The graph shows how albedo factors, based partly in the work above, have affected global temperatures.
The graph "demonstrates" the 95% explanatory power between global surface temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions. However, including sulfates increases the explanatory power to over 98%. See Albedo page.

Where Dangerous Heat Is Surging 0923.rtf
Wet bulb temperatures at or above 35°C (95°F) are only survivable for 6 hours - in the shade. The body is no longer able to shed heat by sweating.
Wet bulb temperatures above 32°C (89.6°F) are very difficult to live in and especially to work in. Productivity losses are great and deaths can occur within hours, especially in work outdoors. Chronic exposure causing permanent heat damage to organs is not uncommon. Even a little below 32°C (89.6° F) wet-bulb, work sustained for days can permanently damage the kidneys and even the heart.
A wet bulb temperature of 35°C (95°F) is generally considered lethal within 6 hours, even in the shade, as the human body cannot shed heat fast enough to break its mounting fever. Jacobabad and Dubai already face these temperatures a few days per year. With 35°C, only a cooled indoor human environment permits longer-term survival. It will get worse there. Meanwhile, Phoenix will increase such days from 1 to 12 per year by 2030.

Heat Stored in the Earth System - Where Does the Energy Go? 0920.rtf - Abstract. - von Schuckmann, Hansen et al. Excerpt+: Earth gained 358 zJ over 1970-2018. This 48-year total is about 600 times annual human energy use, or 10-20 times cumulative human energy use.
Over this period, the oceans account for 89% (52% in the upper 700 meters, 28% 700-2,000 meters deep, and 9% below that); land (continental crust) 6%; melting ice 4%; and atmosphere 1%. Over the shorter and most recent 2010-2018 period, these figures were 90% ocean (52-30-8%); 5% land; 3% ice; and 2% atmosphere.
The rate of heat gain was 0.87±1.2 Watts / sq meter over 2010-2018. There have been various comparable estimates before and since, as shown in the diagram and spreadsheet below left. 0.47 in the diagram below right is for 1970-2018; 0.87 is for 2010-2018.
In order to stabilize Earth’s surface temperature (at a level substantially higher than today’s unless all excess CO2 is removed immediately), Earth’s CO2 level must be reduced from 412 ppm to 353 ppm.

The full 545-page draft is available on the Overviews page.
2 quotes are "Many lines of evidence demonstrate that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are primarily responsible for the observed climate changes in the industrial era. There are no alternative explanations, and no natural cycles are found in the observational record, that can explain the observed changes in climate. (Very high confidence)”
“Atmospheric CO2 levels have now passed 400 ppm, last seen during the Pliocene, approximately 3 million years ago, when global mean temperatures were 3.6° to 6.3°F (2° to 3.5°C) higher than preindustrial (1750) and sea levels were 66 ± 33 feet (20 ± 10 meters) higher than today. (High confidence)"
