Does the WRF model take into account the response of atmospheric temperature to changes in CO2 concentration?

Hi all,

Recently, I've been testing the response of temperature (TEMP at 2M) to changes in CO2 concentration in the context of the WRF model, including WRF-Chem. However, it seems that there is no such response mechanism in WRF-Chem. I've modified the initial CO2 concentration in <chemics_int.F> from 400ppm to 800ppm, but there was no change in the output temperature.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether the WRF model (without chem) accounts for the response of temperature to changes in CO2 concentration. Would the choice of parameterization schemes lead to different responses? Also, if I provide a spatially varying background field of CO2 concentration, would it induce corresponding changes in temperature?
