Narrowly scoped, the present situation is either strictly caused by solar variations (in which case I believe the «solar variation» crowd will inappropriately gain credibility over the next 10 to 20 years as we work through the next below average solar cycle or two), or strictly caused by CO2 concentrations (in which case I believe the «CO2 concentrations» crowd will inappropriately lose credibility as the non-linear relationship (sensitivity is based on doublings, not linear increases) between increased CO2 concentrations, and forecasts for below average solar cycles reduces the longer term upward trend in global temperatures).

CONCLUSION The values for the global climate sensitivity published by the IPCC cover a range from 2.1 ̊C — 4.4 ̊C with an average value of 3.2 ̊C, which is seven times larger than that predicted here.

Nonetheless, there is a tendency for similar equilibrium climate sensitivity ECS, especially using a Charney ECS defined as equilibrium global time average surface temperature change per unit tropopause - level forcing with stratospheric adjustment, for different types of forcings (CO2, CH4, solar) if the forcings are not too idiosyncratic.

I never asserted that sensitivity in terms of equilibrium time - average surface temperature change per unit change in TOA or even tropopause - level forcing (with or without stratospheric adjustment) would be the same for each type of forcing for each climatic state and the external forcings that maintain it (or for that matter, for each of those different of forcings (TOA vs tropopause, etc.) with everything held constant.

(PS we are considering the climate sensitivity to be in terms of changes in global - time average surface temperature per unit global - time average radiative forcing, though one could also define other sensitivities for other measures of climate).

Figure 1: If climate skeptics are right about climate sensitivity (green), then global average temperature increases will be more moderate this century, shown here for RCP6 (left) and RCP8.5 (right).

For present climate to show a Gavin / Hansen / IPCC sensitivity of 0.75 C / Wm ^ -2, an increase of 3.5-fold over the net average, one must infer that climate became increasingly sensitive to forcing as «G» has increased.

If climate skeptics are right about climate sensitivity (green), then global average temperature increases will be more moderate this century, shown here for RCP6 (left) and RCP8.5 (right).

As it happens, for any value of time constant / sensitivity value for the «climate lump» there is a specific phase lag that I will expect between the time of maximum average solar radiance for the planet to the time of minimum.

Each SCC estimate is the average of numerous iterations (10,000 in the EPA's assessment, which we reproduce here) of the model using different potential values for climate sensitivity (how much warming a doubling of CO2 will generate).

My question is whether this number is substantially different when arrived at by averaging climate sensitivity over a 3D surface or calculating climate sensitivity for a 1D average surface.

So what happens if we calculate dT, dN, and dF at every gridpoint of the model, use that to solve for climate sensitivity and then take the average to have a global climate sensitivity number?

The required correction to total forcing in order for the regression of GMST on total forcing to produce that sensitivity should represent the additional ERFaero included in the CMIP5 models on average.

Nevertheless, an expert judgement can be based on the average of the nine PDFs shown in Box 10.2, Figure 2 such that best agreement with observations is found for a sensitivity of 3.0 °C, with a median value of 3.4 °C, similar to the centre of the TAR range and close to the AOGCM average.

«all of the coupled climate models used in the IPCC AR4 reproduce the time series for the 20th century of globally averaged surface temperature anomalies; yet they have different feedbacks and sensitivities and produce markedly different simulations of the 21st century climate.»

2) CAGW movement type models never reconstruct any lengthy past history accurately without creative and unique adjustment of aerosol values used as a fudge factor; that is why models of widely varying sensitivities supposedly all accurately reconstruct the past (different made - up assumed historical values used for each) but fail in future prediction, like they didn't predict how global average temperatures have been flat to declining over the past 15 years.

Until the global average chimera accurately accounts for the effects from landscape changes, natural cycles, and statistical homogenization procedures, the global average temperature will never be a reliable indicator of the earth's sensitivity to CO2.

«Bias might be introduced in cases where the spatial coverage is not uniform (e.g., of the 24 original chronologies with data back to 1500, half are concentrated in eastern Siberia) but this can be reduced by prior averaging of the chronologies into regional series (as was done in the previous section)... Eight different methods have been used... They produce very similar results for the post-1700 period... They exhibit fairly dramatic differences, however, in the magnitude of multidecadal variability prior to 1700... highlighting the sensitivity of the reconstruction to the methodology used, once the number of regions with data, and the reliability of each regional reconstruction, begin to decrease.

Of course, the same is true for «sensitivity»: the assumption that global «average» temperature is somehow part of an equilibrium is invalid, it may be a useful fiction but it's still a metaphor.

Sensitivity equals dT / dF is only valid for an absolute temperature and absolute forcing over a small range of change and since the current «state of the artistry» «surface temperature average» requires using anomaly from very cold locations with very little energy per degree of anomaly, what «surface» is averaged impacts the estimate of «sensitivSensitivity equals dT / dF is only valid for an absolute temperature and absolute forcing over a small range of change and since the current «state of the artistry» «surface temperature average» requires using anomaly from very cold locations with very little energy per degree of anomaly, what «surface» is averaged impacts the estimate of «sensitivitysensitivity».

Is climate sensitivity a metric input into the computer models that have been used to predict future global average temperatures as a justification for CAGW policy initiatives.

The results by Hargreaves et al. (2007) indicate that the LGM sensitivity is on average about 15 % smaller than for 2 x CO2 climate (see their Fig. 5), and we therefore use a best guess of 0.85 and a standard deviation of 0.2 for the scaling factor.»

The average CO2 amount in the Early Pliocene is about 300 ppm for the Russell sensitivity, but could reach a few tens of ppm higher if the true sensitivity is closer to two - thirds of the Russell sensitivity.

However, it would be difficult to achieve that high average sensitivity if the current fast - feedback sensitivity were not at least in the upper half of the range of 3 ± 1 °C for 2 × CO2.

That conclusion, in conjunction with a climate model incorporating only the most fundamental processes, constrains average fast - feedback climate sensitivity to be in the upper part of the sensitivity range that is normally quoted [1,48,99], i.e. the sensitivity is greater than 3 °C for 2 × CO2.

Table 7 of the study (p. 46) captures the result of this sensitivity analysis and shows that the average environmental benefits of EVs are twice as good as for the Toyota Prius (the proxy for gasoline cars in this future - oriented sensitivity analysis).

An average 4 °C for 2 × CO2 (1 °C per W m − 2) provides a good fit to the target 1000 ppm CO2, but the sensitivity must be still higher if non-CO2 GHG forcings amplify the CO2 by less than one - third, i.e. provide less than 25 % of the total GHG forcing.

If one takes the official range: 1.5 - 4.5 °C (or beyond), the average at 3 °C is borderline measurable, everything higher is measurable, but not measured... Thus all doomsday scenario's based on a high sensitivity for CO2 can be trashed.

Re 416 Bernd Herd — in climate science, for global climate change, specifically a global (average surface) temperature change in response to a global (typically average net tropopause - level after stratospheric adjustment) radiative forcing (or other heat source — although on Earth those tend not to be so big), where the radiative forcing may be in units of W / m ^ 2, so that equilibrium climate sensitivity is in K * m ^ 2 / W (it is often expressed as K / doubling CO2 as doubling CO2 has a certain amount of radiative forcing for given conditions).

The effective climate sensitivities around the time of CO2 doubling (average for the years 61 to 80), when the signal is strongest, agree reasonably well with the mixed - layer equilibrium climate sensitivities given in Figure 9.20.

With regard to LC effect on surface temperature, I would think that to the extent that there's any validity in the «climate sensitivity» approach — that is to say, that a change in average surface temperature can be said to cause a proportional increase in radiated energy at TOA — it should be possible to adjust the standard formula to allow for such an effect.
