The impact of CO2 emissions on global warming can take several years to several decades to become apparent. CO2 is a long-lived greenhouse gas, which means that once it is released into the atmosphere, it can persist for many decades to thousands of years. This means that the warming effects of CO2 emissions can continue long after the emissions have occurred.

The warming effect of CO2 emissions is not immediate, as it takes time for the atmosphere to respond to the changes in CO2 concentrations. Climate models indicate that it can take several decades for the full warming effect of CO2 emissions to be realized. This is because the ocean and the land surface also play a role in the climate system and take time to respond to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

In short, the time it takes for CO2 emissions to have an impact on global warming depends on several factors, including the amount of CO2 emitted, the rate of emissions, and the speed at which the atmosphere, oceans, and land respond to the changes in CO2 concentrations. However, it is important to note that the impact of CO2 emissions on global warming is already being felt and will continue to be felt for many decades to come.
