The top priorities should be
reducing uncertainties in climate sensitivity, getting a better understanding of the effect of climate change on atmospheric circulation (critical for understanding of regional climate change, changes in extremes) and reducing uncertainties in radiative forcing — particularly those associated with aerosols.
In fairness, there remains considerable uncertainty in aerosol effects, but if there will be real progress in narrowing the credible range for climate sensitivity, it has to come from reducing the still too wide uncertainty in aerosol effects, not from flogging climate models which assume aerosol offsets inconsistent with the best available measured effect

Reducing the wide range of
uncertainty inherent
in current model predictions of global
climate change will require major advances
in understanding and modeling of both (1) the factors that determine atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and (2) the so - called «feedbacks» that determine the
sensitivity of the
climate system to a prescribed increase
in greenhouse gases.»
The results
reduced uncertainty in proxy records and improved earlier estimates and contribute to our understanding of
climate change today, especially the findings hint at a higher
climate sensitivity to CO2 emissions.
