You should read this 1896 paper on CO2 and climate by Arrhenius.

Fascinating stuff.

Starts getting applicable From Table 7 onwards:

A little background as well:

My 2 cents is that he was calculating steady state responses to different CO2 levels. The path that happens going from these steady states does not matter, it will EVENTUALLY reach the steady state dictated by the new CO2 levels if there are no changes in especially the Milankovitch factors.

With the proviso that of his model is not "precise", but it is "accurate" in its science.
 
I've been chasing the links all day, but I never read the answer to a question I have:
Did Arrhenius have access to global measurements of atmospheric CO2?
