Find year in which amount of carbon dioxide doubled


Between 1850 and 1985 approximately 155 billion metric tons of carbon was added to earth's atmosphere and climate became about 0.5 degrees C warmer, indicication of greenhouse effect. It is evaluated that doubling carbon dioxide in atmosphre would result in the average global temperature increase of 4-5 degrees C. Future amount A of carbon dioxide in atmosphere per parts per million is at times evaluated using formula A = a + ct + ke^rt. Where a, c, and k are constants, r is percentage increase in emission of carbon dioxide and t is time in years. With t = 0 representing to 1990. Assume it is evaluated that in year 2070, A will be 800 if r = 2.5% and A will be 560 if r = 1.5%. If, in 1990, A = 340 and r = 1%, determine year in which amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere will have doubled.
