A linear mathematical function is being fit in the experimentally observed values of CO2 concentrations to predict the future CO2

concentrations.

Co2 concenration in any year can be estimated as:

2.042*(Year-1999)+367.2

Radiative forcing is calculated by taking a reference. IPCC uses pre-industrial era as the reference time. "C0" in the formula is the preindustrial concentration of CO2 while "C " is the yearly mean CO2 concentration. The "Net Chenge in Positive Radiative Forcing" would change from year to year . I have done calculations for 2012.
