So if you overestimate a cooling factor in your calculation, your final result ends up too warm ???Based on the absorbtionspectra of H2O and CO2, doubling of the latter (280 => 560 ppm) will result in a 0,9 °C increase. The water vapour feedback included, the rise becomes only 1,3 °C. That is all.
The rest of the 3°C of 2xCO2 predicted by models is rather dubious : the cooling effect of aerosols is estimated (too) high, the positive temperature effect of clouds (in reality probably negative) ...
