Sentences with phrase «greater values of climate sensitivity»

Another point worth making about the figure is that greater values of climate sensitivity likely translate into quicker evolution of the climate, all other things being equal (e.g., Bahn et al., 2011, Fig. 2).

This implies a greater value of climate sensitivity than estimated in the 2006 paper.

Not exact matches

As I said in the post, I think that there is a great discussion and debate to be had over the nature, size, and type of each of these various homeostatic mechanisms... but instead the AGW folks want to debate the exact value of the imaginary «climate sensitivity» figure.

You are correct that climate sensitivity is probably more uncertain than to < 10 %, however there is a substantial literature on why it is very likely greater than 1.5 - 2 C per doubling of CO2, while ruling out higher end values of climate sensitivity is much more difficult.

If peak Phanerozoic ca is of the order of 1000 ppm then either slow - feedback climate sensitivity is greater than the canonical fast feedback value of 3 °C for 2 × CO2 [Solomon et al., 2007], or global temperatures have been no warmer than ~ 6 °C above preindustrial conditions.

It means that the current method of estimating climate sensitivity would return a value greater than 3 C.
