I tend to believe that including the recent years will, indeed, lower the best estimate of climate sensitivity and, hopefully, allow for a more reliable upper limit.

This is an example of energy transport affecting the energy balance and a valid argument by itself that the paleo records aren't a reliable way to estimate current climate sensitivity, isn't it?

Fred — I don't think that the Gregory 02 lower bound estimate of sensitivity is at all reliable, because it is highly sensitive to the particular values of the ocean heat and forcings data used.

Using short records with uncertain forcings of the Earth system that is not in equilibrium does not (yet) produce reliable estimates of climate sensitivity.»

In their 2008 JGR paper, Gregory and Forster focused on transient climate sensitivity (TCR, representing the climate response to 1 % annual CO2 increases up to a CO2 doubling) as a more reliable indicator of the climate response to CO2 than the more uncertain climate sensitivity estimates.

Furthermore it's not necessary to have reliable estimates of the climate sensitivity, it's enough to have moderate evidence to support the expectation of significant warming.
