At that level of co2 production, they were probably right. What they couldn’t predict is that co2 production would rise so dramatically with automobiles and industry in the decade after that. They were at 7 billion tons a year then. We are over 36 billion tons a year now, over 5 times as much. That has clearly expedited the effects on the climate.
