We find a higher sensitivity of extreme events to aerosol reductions, per degree of surface warming, in particular over the major aerosol emission regions.

They state that addition of 3000 Gt C to an atmosphere of 2000 Gt C would lead to warming of 5 degrees C, but I don't believe it unless the climate sensitivity is much higher than today.

If you look at constraints on CO2 sensitivity — 3 degrees is by far the most likely level, but the chances of it being higher than 4.5 degrees are more than those of it being below 2 degrees.

But it doesn't suppress 20 - or 30 - degree sensitivity nearly as much as other choices of prior, and even though these high values end up not very likely they're still possible, and lead to the «long tail» of the probability distribution.

I assume you are using a climate sensitivity of 3 degrees, but the amplification values seem a little high.

Although the sensitivity of climate does change itself as the boundary conditions change, the past (PETM, glacial - interglacial cycles, etc) does not support sensitivities as low as 1 degree per doubling of CO2, and it doesn't support very high ones (like 10 degrees per doubling) either.

What's new is that several recent papers have offered best estimates for climate sensitivity that are below four degrees Fahrenheit, rather than the previous best estimate of just above five degrees, and they have also suggested that the highest estimates are pretty implausible.

What is clear is that uncontrolled emissions will very soon put us in range of temperatures that have been unseen since the Eemian / Stage 5e period (about 120,000 years ago) when temperatures may have been a degree or so warmer than now but where sea level was 4 to 6m higher (see this recent discussion the possible sensitivities of the ice sheets to warming and the large uncertainties involved).

How many degrees of warming should the world expect for each doubling of CO2 concentrations (the relationship is logarithmic, so that is why sensitivity is based on doublings, rather than absolute increases — an increase of CO2 from 280 to 290 ppm should have a higher impact on temperatures than the increase from, say, 380 to 390 ppm).

It's also at the high end of what the IPCC considers the likely range of climate sensitivity, and most independent studies put it between 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.

However, I am not a «warmista» by any means — we do not know how to properly quantify the albedo of aerosols, including clouds, with their consequent negative feedback effects in any of the climate sensitivity models as yet — and all models in the ensemble used by the «warmistas» are indicating the sensitivities (to atmospheric CO2 increase) are too high, by factors ranging from 2 to 4: which could indicate that climate sensitivity to a doubling of current CO2 concentrations will be of the order of 1 degree C or less outside the equatorial regions (none or very little in the equatorial regions)- i.e. an outcome which will likely be beneficial to all of us.

That Cancun decision clearly did not reflect the most up - to - date scientific assessments of climate sensitivity that show that a temperature rise of more than 2 degrees — even one above 1.5 degrees — has a high probability of catastrophic climate impacts.

FWIW it is my prejudice that the AR4 claim «very likely» «most of the warming» etc. is sufficiently weak to be safe against arguments that do not rely on very high sensitivities e.g. a random walk, with the possible exceptions of some unappreciated dominant forcing or that old standby that «the climate is chaotic to a degree that permits all possible outcomes».

As shown above in the HadCM3L run (in which high CO2 - fertilisation effect is supposed) locally (the Arctic, Russia, Brazil, continental Africa, Antarctic Peninsula) the doubling of atmospheric CO2 [see «climate sensitivity» for further reading] would lead to > 5 degrees Celsius warming.

We use the equations in (Rahmstorf, S. 2007), and allow users to examine the impact of higher or lower future SLR per degree of warming through a sensitivity parameter, so that users can examine, for example, the impact of higher future rates of SLR due to accelerating melt and calving from the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets.

Even a linear extrapolation, which is clearly wrong scientifically, would only yield a sensitivity projection a few tenths of a degree higher.

If the IPCC estimate of CS is wider than 2 - 4.5 degrees C, then policy makers should be more worried about the effects of a 6C value (or higher) of climate sensitivity.

In any case, again, figure 3 shows that if we stop all emissions now (and yes, Jim, that means completely stop emitting any more CO2, not just stabilize the rate we are emitting at now, unless I'm missing something), with a climate sensitivity of 3 degrees C we will see atmospheric CO2 levels remain at current high levels for centuries.

(e) Hansen et al. (2013) and Previdi (2013) show that the inclusion of slow - response feedback mechanisms can cause Earth Systems Sensitivity to be as high as 6 degrees C (while work such as Pistone et al. (2014) shows that the «slow response» feedback mechanisms are occurring very quickly).»

Of course, the probabilities must be accompanied by sensitivity analyses that educate users not to interpret the probabilities to too high a degree of precisioOf course, the probabilities must be accompanied by sensitivity analyses that educate users not to interpret the probabilities to too high a degree of precisioof precision.

We also know that MOST of the uncertainty, by far, is on the high side of that sensitivity confidence curve — that is it's a whole helluva lot more likely that sensitivity is 6 degrees than it is that it's 1 degree.
