climate sensitivity

This approach let them set a number of limits on the climate sensitivity.

The current best estimate for climate sensitivity is around 3 degrees.

You routinely dispute the evidence for the value of climate sensitivity.

For history 2, the implied climate sensitivities are within the accepted range.

If, through quoting him, you are trying to suggest that climate sensitivity is low, the evidence suggests otherwise.

Other estimates of climate sensitivity are discussed later on.

I repeat, the scientific debate is about climate sensitivity.

Climate sensitivities of greater than 5 C are widely accepted as being catastrophic.

Unless you have a pretty solid bit of science to explain that without a high climate sensitivity your are treading water.

In the scientific literature, there is sometimes a focus on "best estimate" or "likely" values of climate sensitivity.

The best performing models tended to project relatively high climate sensitivities, of around 4 C.

The effective climate sensitivity is a related measure that circumvents this requirement.

Results from models can also vary due to different greenhouse gas inputs and the model's climate sensitivity.

For history 2, the best fit occurs at a higher climate sensitivity, as the global forcing is not as great.

Other factors being equal, a higher climate sensitivity means that more warming will occur for a given increase in greenhouse gas forcing.

The higher climate sensitivities have been challenged as implausible.

Royer, et al. (2007) determined climate sensitivity within a major part of the Phanerozoic.

Projections of future global warming are affected by different estimates of climate sensitivity.

Partly because of the difficulty in modeling the cloud feedback, the true climate sensitivity remains uncertain.

AR4, however, quantifies the probable range of climate sensitivity estimates:

Climate sensitivity is defined as equilibrium warming per doubling of carbon dioxide concentration.

By contrast, simpler energy-balance models may have climate sensitivity as an explicit parameter.

An observationally based estimate of the climate sensitivity.

Some studies suggest a lower climate sensitivity, but other studies indicate a sensitivity above this range.

Lindzen addressed these criticisms in a 2011 paper, still showing the models exaggerating climate sensitivity.
