It can, and indeed does. Nobel prize winner Svante Arrhenius applied black body radiation theory and adapted the Stephan Boltzman law to CO2 and greenhouse.

The formula is ΔF = α ln(C/C0) and while not quite as famous as E=MC squared, after 100+ years of scrutiny is still very much accepted today.
