The forcing parameter of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate models appears to be based solely on the concepts developed by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, and empirically derived from the observation of a 0.6°C increase in global temperature assumed to have been caused by a 100ppmv increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This was done without any verification by quantum physics theory or physical observation of the Earth's radiative spectrum. The concepts of Arrhenius predate the development of quantum physics.
