-LSB-...] Velasco Herrera described as erroneous predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), pursuant to which the planet is experiencing a
gradual increase
in temperature, the so - called
global warming.
«TCR was originally defined as the warming at the time of CO2 doubling (i.e., after 70 years)
in a 1 % yr — 1 increasing CO2 experiment (see Hegerl et al., 2007b), but like ECS, it can also be thought of as a generic property of the climate system that determines the
global temperature response ΔT to any
gradual increase
in RF, ΔF, taking place over an approximately 70 - year time scale, normalized by the ratio of the forcing
change to the forcing due to doubling CO2, F2 × CO2: TCR = F2 × CO2 ΔT / ΔF»
Most attention
in the debate over climate
change has been based on the assumption of a
gradual increase
in mean
global temperatures, equilibrating to a new higher level some decades after concentrations of greenhouse gases have stabilized, with effects that will then play out for centuries.
