"The predictions that we would experience warming due to CO2 dates back to the 30s. Guess what? Their predictions have proven correct."
Back to the '30s?
Arrhenius made the prediction in 1896.
Svante Arrhenius, 1896b, On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground,
The only difference is that based on the rate we were burning fossil fuel then, he thought it would take 3000 years to double the atmospheric CO2. Current estimates are one century.
