Global warming may bring milder winters, but blizzards are still very much in our future, a new study suggests.

Pinning a number on how much global temperature rises in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide — known as the climate sensitivity — is a big question in climate science as it helps more accurately predict how much warming we'll see in future.

This remarkable warm period has received much attention lately due to the information it may yield about future warming.

The HFC agreement isn't in itself a bad thing necessarily, but if countries start counting it toward their [Paris commitments], or if the cost of early phase - out of HFCs takes away from efforts that reduce CO2, it will in fact in the end make it much harder to limit future warming.

A byproduct of the above analysis is the conclusion that future global warming can be predicted much more accurately than is generally realized.

What Knutson et al are asking us to do in essence is to put all that aside (because, they argue — in short — that its not the warming but the pattern of warming that matters here) and instead take on faith the perhaps not - much - more - than 50/50 proposition that the mean changes in ENSO state and variability projected by the IPCC multimodel ensemble (which are a key determinant in the projected future Atlantic TC activity) should be trusted.

But a quick summary of some of my thoughts: I think a case can be made for some combination of equal per - capita payback and tax reduction, but the rationale for this must be that this somehow compensates for the costs of global warming or adaptation to that; as much of this occurs in the future (with different people), this is private sector economic investment to boost the economy now so that it may make itself more robust in the future -LRB-?).

Volume, in contrast, is crucial in determining the vulnerability of Arctic sea ice to rapid future reductions (since thin ice is much more prone to react strongly to a single warm summer, making single very - low sea - ice summers more likely), and the thickness of the ice determines the exchange of heat between ocean and atmosphere.
