This is also a good recent
presentation of the various estimates of
climate sensitivity and of the amount of uncertainty associated with them — found by doing a Google image search

The author's points
on non-linearity and time delays are actually more relevant to the discussion in other
presentations when I talked about whether the
climate models that show high future
sensitivities to CO2 are consistent with past history, particularly if warming in the surface temperature record is exaggerated by urban biases.
In his House of Commons
presentation, toward the end, he gives a sketch of an alternative derivation of the «
Climate Sensitivity» based
on observed rates of evaporation increase per change in sea surface temperature, and this based
on data from the 2007 paper by Wentz et.
The proprietors are a bit puzzled, because they saw Ana Ravelo give a very similar
presentation: — RRB - It was what I was referring to when I mentioned «a rather silly
presentation on «changing
climate sensitivity» which IMO just pointed to the inappropriateness of trying to analyse all historical
climate changes as if they were a response to an imposed CO2 forcing, which of course they were not.»
At the last fall AGU meeting I saw the last few minutes of a
presentation on this (OS11: Empirical Determination of the Time Constant, Heat Capacity, and
Sensitivity of Earth's
Climate System, by Stephen E Schwartz).
