The basis of this relationship is the rough balance between the net uptake of carbon into deep pools (mainly the deep ocean) and the rate at which the oceans warm in response to an energy imbalance. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).
