Only a few estimates
account for uncertainty in forcings other than from aerosols (e.g., Gregory et al., 2002a; Knutti et al., 2002, 2003); some other studies perform some sensitivity testing to assess the effect of forcing
uncertainty not accounted for,
for example, in natural forcing (e.g., Forest et al., 2006; see Table 9.1
for an overview).

accounted for by scaling the signal patterns to best match observations, and thus the robustness of the IPCC conclusion is
not slaved to
uncertainties in aerosol forcing or sensitivity being off.

uncertainty is smaller than the errors which are
not persistent in time (e.g. due to incomplete spatial coverage), so I don't think

Because Schwartz's model is simpler it is easier to
account for and quantify the
uncertainty in it (in fact much of the

uncertainty of TSI measurement.
