Sentences with phrase «precise estimate of the sensitivity»

Not exact matches

As noted earlier, our main conclusions are insensitive to the precise details of the forcing estimates used, the volcanic scaling assumptions made, and the precise assumed climate sensitivity.

Indeed, this was found to be true for any of several different published volcanic forcing series for the past millennium, regardless of the precise geometric scaling used to estimate radiative forcing from volcanic optical depth, and regardless of the precise climate sensitivity assumed.

But arguments over the precise value of climate sensitivity duck the wider point, which is that even if we're lucky and climate sensitivity is on the low side of scientists» estimates, we're still heading for a substantial level of warming by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions aren't addressed, as the IPCC has highlighted.

If you want a precise estimate of the change in sensitivity from what you would consider a «trusted source», you are own your own.

Note also that the Earth System Sensitivity is deduced from various past climate change events like the Paleocene — Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), but the qualitative estimates of longer - term climate sensitivity are less precise than the HS12 fast feedback sensitivitySensitivity is deduced from various past climate change events like the Paleocene — Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), but the qualitative estimates of longer - term climate sensitivity are less precise than the HS12 fast feedback sensitivitysensitivity are less precise than the HS12 fast feedback sensitivitysensitivity estimates.

While climate contrarians like Richard Lindzen tend to treat the uncertainties associated with clouds and aerosols incorrectly, as we noted in that post, they are correct that these uncertainties preclude a precise estimate of climate sensitivity based solely on recent temperature changes and model simulations of those changes.
