Very interesting. Please can you suggest a reference?

In French (I don't know if the English words I used were correct, so I can't search English sources):

Article from a vulgarisation paper: https://www.futura-sciences.com/planete/dossiers/climatologi...

And a pdf from my previous university (way drier, lot of math and inference, nice graphs though): https://web.lmd.jussieu.fr/~jldufres/IUFM_Creteil/Dufresne_b...

I can't find a date on either of these, but they look a bit dated. The newest reference in the presenetation is from 2007 and uses graphs from 2001.

I know that I heard something aout CO2 taking 20 years to get to the upper atmosphere around then, too, but not since, and I remember being curious about that and researching it a bit about a decade ago and finding that this is not what most atmospheric scientists believed (anymore?).

I stopped learning physics circa 2011, so I might be dated too tbh.

I'll look into it tomorrow.
