Since warming is proportional to cumulative carbon, if the climate sensitivity were really as low as Schmittner et al. estimate, then another 500 GT would take us to the same risk level, some 11 years later.

Forest et al. (2006) demonstrate that the inclusion of natural forcing affects the estimated PDF of climate sensitivity since net negative natural forcing in the second half of the 20th century favours higher sensitivities than earlier results that disregarded natural forcing (Forest et al., 2002; see Figure 9.20), particularly if the same ocean warming estimates were used.

But rather since carbon dioxide, for example, is generally accepted as one of the leading causes of Global Warming we should be able to come up with a somewhat accurate estimate of where all the carbon dioxide comes from.

Their claim that temperature isn't rising in the tropics is erroneous, especially in light of Fu et al's new satellite estimates of tropical warming since 1970.

The problem here is that estimates of changes in sea surface temperature and the depth of the warm mixed layer might be very unreliable, since the general behavior of the Atlantic circulation is only now being directly observed — and the most recent findings are that flow rates vary over a whole order of magnitude:

So, I interpret this as scything that the IPCC's best estimate is that 100 % of the warming since 1950 is attributable to humans, and they then down weight this to «more than half» to account for various uncertainties.

The estimates of OHC change since 1975 are even more certain, and it is the interval since then when the warming occurred.

Of these forcings, the only non-human-induced forcing that produces warming of the surface temperature is the estimated long - term increase by 0.3 W / m2 of solar irradiance since 1750.

The incoming solar radiation has changed just a tiny bit in comparison — since 1950, by the way, it has even decreased and thus offset a small part of the human - caused warming — hence humans have probably caused more warming than is observed (best estimate is 110 % of observed warming).

But aren't these way too low, since LOTI shows we are — as of 2017 — already around 0.95 C warmer than the 1951 - 1980 average, and there is more warming «in the pipeline» because of the time lag, and another (estimated) 0.5 C warming when the anthropogenic aerosols dimming effect is removed?

These estimated global temperature trends are the main basis for the claims that there has been «unusual global warming» since the Industrial Revolution.

The main basis for the claim that there has been «unusual» global warming since the Industrial Revolution arises from the various global temperature estimates constructed from weather station records.

IPCC AR5 summarizes the scientific literature and estimates that cumulative carbon dioxide emissions related to human activities need to be limited to 1 trillion tonnes C (1000 PgC) since the beginning of the industrial revolution if we are to have a likely chance of limiting warming to 2 °C.

Since land covers about 29 % of the Earth's surface, the warm bias due to this influence explains about 30 % of the IPCC estimate of global warming.
