Weather forecasting (meteorology) is not climate modelling. As such, a meteorological model to forecast temperatures over years is not the right tool for the job.

But there is indeed a very, very simple climate "model" that only accounts for CO2 and temperature.

The question was "simple", and this is simple. It only shows a single dependency but may be useful to demonstrate a relationship. Of course "real" quantitative modelling depends on ridiculously much more and is constantly improved and updated.

But there is indeed a very, very simple climate "model" that only accounts for CO2 and temperature, is 10 years old and needs the Flash player (i did not try it).
