- This figure gives a sense of the wide uncertainty distribution in the total anthropogenic forcing relative to just the GHG forcing (which also includes methane, N2O, etc) which is a prime reason the instrumental record doesn't inherently give good constraints on sensitivity. (realclimate.org)
- For any assumed distribution of parameter values, a method of producing 5 — 95 % uncertainty ranges can be tested by drawing a large number of samples of possible parameter values from that distribution, and for each drawing a measurement at random according to the measurement uncertainty distribution and estimating a range for the parameter.

- However, if in addition the IPSL - CM5A - LR model is replaced by a second copy of IPSL - CM5B - LR — giving a 2 - to - 1 weighting in favour of IPSL's more advanced, improved CM5B model over the earlier CM5A version rather than vice versa — the resulting weighted CMIP5 model ECS uncertainty distribution differs little from the raw unweighted distribution, apart from ECS values below 2.5 °C being less likely.
