Regression of ECS on the strength of the relationship between TLC reflection variability and SST with models weighted by how «good» they are, using either Brient & Schneider's model weightings or those derived directly from model likelihoods given
the observational probability density, explains almost none of the intermodel variance in ECS.

One recent paper (Libardoni and Forest, 2011) has addressed how alternative
observational records of surface temperature changes have an impact on the
probability density distributions.
This time round we have had some minor concessions to
observational estimates, but a significant proportion of the
probability density of the
observational studies remains outwith the IPCC's likely range of 1.5 - 4.5 °C.
