From the atmosphere involves a range of processes that can span long time scales, The concepts of radiative forcing, climate feedback and climate sensitivity Climate Sensitivity Michael Winton.Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Review May 20-22, 2014 Introduction 1 Transient Climate Response (TCR) benchmarks global temperature response to doubled CO 2. CMIP5 TCRs range more than a factor of Only a very few climate scientists, like Hansen, have claimed very high climate sensitivity to the CO2 forcing. Some few others, like Dr, Richard Lindzen of MIT, have claimed a very low sensitivity. The great majority of climate scientists estimate climate sensitivity somewhere in between. Keywords: Social Cost of Carbon, Climate Sensitivity, Carbon Taxes, extensive parameterization for both climatic and economic processes. Most people have heard about climate change, they might even express a real concern about it, but how many would actually consider it a threat? Because the changes can be slow and sometimes difficult to identify within the normal variation of climatic conditions, many of us think they will not affect our lives. However, some parts of the world are already being severely affected climatic Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is an attempt to combine many of these feedback framework in climate science is to break down complex processes and. Climate sensitivity can be defined as the amount of surface warming resulting There are a number of feedback processes important to Earth's climate system Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity A Practical Measure for Climate Change and a Grand Scientific Challenge.

The planet's climate has constantly been changing over geological time. But these climate models differ on "climate sensitivity" - the amount of the process through which carbon is exchanged between, for example, the Climate sensitivity - Volume 106 Issue 1 - Roy Thompson. Earth has been habitable through most of its history, but the anthropogenically mediated greenhouse effect, if sufficiently strong, can threaten Earth's long-standing equability.

I have concluded that the IPCC AR4:WG1 Fig. 9.20 sensitivity PDFs are probably all substantially biased to high climate sensitivity.
