Do you think that in the same way that the Solanki et al paper on solar sunspot reconstructions had a specific statement that their results did not contradict ideas of strong greenhouse warming in recent decades, this (the fact that climate sensitivity projections are not best estimates of possible future actual temperature increases) should be clearly noted in media releases put out by scientists when reporting climate sensitivity studies?

However, it is important to keep in mind that we might easily more than double it if we really don't make much effort to cut back (I think the current estimated reserves of fossil fuels would increase CO2 by a factor of like 5 or 10, which would mean a warming of roughly 2 - 3 times the climate sensitivity for doubling CO2 [because of the logarithmic dependence of the resulting warming to CO2 levels]-RRB-... and CO2 levels may be able to fall short of doubling if we really make a very strong effort to reduce emissions.

[T] here have now been several recent papers showing much the same — numerous factors including: the increase in positive forcing (CO2 and the recent work on black carbon), decrease in estimated negative forcing (aerosols), combined with the stubborn refusal of the planet to warm as had been predicted over the last decade, all makes a high climate sensitivity increasingly untenable.

For July temperature in Moscow, we estimate that the local warming trend has increased the number of records expected in the past decade fivefold, which implies an approximate 80 % probability that the 2010 July heat record would not have occurred without climate warming.

Given that (1) there is no evidence of GHG induced warming in the best available temperature record and (2) that natural variability (to the extent that we understand it) easily explains what little warming we see, my estimate of the probability that increasing GHGs have, or will, increase temperature is close to zero.

2) In addition to estimates of climate sensitivity, there are other lines of evidence showing that anthropogenic activity (predominately increased CO2) caused most of the recent global warming; this provides further credence for the > = 95 % certainty on the attribution point.

We know that the warming effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide is logarithmic (meaning each additional unit has less effect than the one preceding) and estimates of warming due to increased carbon dioxide since the Industrial Revolution are really quite small.

But, assuming he still stands by his 1995 paper, he finds a big drop in economic performance as temperature rises still more: the estimated effect (compared to no warming) is plus 2.3 percent of gross domestic product for a 1 degree increase, and then drops to minus 1.9 percent for a 2.5 degree increase.

Chance that increased GHGs are expected to lead to warming on the scale of the observed warming: this requires estimates of climate sensitivity, ocean heat uptake, etc., but I would think that basic theory suggests that increased GHGs could be responsible for much more than the observed warming.

If that is the case, here is the problem: existing policy proposals do not, as far as I know, supply even «fuzzy» benefits — something like (don't pick on the numbers — I pulled them out of my nether region as an example only): Best case: RCP8.5, TCS 6.0, estimated reduced warming: 5C GMST by 2100 Worst case: RCP2.0, TCS 1.4, estimated reduced warming: 0.2 C GMST by 2100 Estimated costs per 1C increase in GMST: $ estimated reduced warming: 5C GMST by 2100 Worst case: RCP2.0, TCS 1.4, estimated reduced warming: 0.2 C GMST by 2100 Estimated costs per 1C increase in GMST: $ estimated reduced warming: 0.2 C GMST by 2100 Estimated costs per 1C increase in GMST: $ Estimated costs per 1C increase in GMST: $ 150B p.a.

But in summary I think there is strong evidence that enables us to estimate the forcing from increased CO2, so I am happy that the forcing amount (which can be calculated with good obs) coupled with the sensitivity (uncertain) gives us the warming.

Before we can act, we have to define the problem, and good solid estimates of how much warming is caused by the increased CO2 since 1850 seems to be the very first step in defining the problem, and am important step in doing a cost benefit analysis.

From the last 60 years for which we have accurate CO2 levels, the effective TCR obtained by warming per CO2 increase is over 2 C per doubling, so those estimates with lower values should not be used for policy because they would dangerously underestimate what has already happened.

Its dramatic increase led to warming, triggering a whole range of responses that killed an estimated 90 percent of marine biodiversity, and that warming killed a staggering 96 percent of marine biodiversity and for instance 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species.

Estimating the exact role of CO2 increase in the warming of the last 150 years depends on a well - known unknown, namely the amount of warming that would have occurred without the increase in CO2.

Still, it seems to me that even a rough estimate of the extent to which increasing solar output is raising temperatures on Mars would be a useful reality check on the «global warming» claims being made here on Earth.

If you had said in the first place that you don't understand how a specific estimate is made of the extent of global warming to be expected from a specified increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, I would not have tried to offer an explanation, because I don't understand that either.
