Sentences with phrase «uncertainty in climate sensitivity consistent»

How is the persistent factor of 3 uncertainty in climate sensitivity consistent with the IPCC confidence levels?

Not exact matches

For example, we know the past CO2 radiative forcing to very high accuracy, but there are more uncertainties in the aerosol forcing; applying a consistent climate sensitivity to both CO2 and aerosols, you can get a match to the observed record for a range of different supposed aerosol forcings, but you can't take it too far.

The IPCC's attribution statement does not seem logically consistent with the uncertainty in climate sensitivity.
