We assess evidence relevant to Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity per doubling of
atmospheric CO2, characterized by an effective sensitivity S. This evidence includes …

Equilibrium climate sensitivity characterizes the Earth's long-term global temperature
response to increased atmospheric CO2 concentration. It has reached almost iconic status …

This chapter assesses the causes of observed changes assessed in Chapters 2 to 5 and
uses understanding of physical processes, climate models and statistical approaches. The …

Climate projections for the fourth assessment report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) were based on scenarios from the Special Report on Emissions …

More than 100 countries have adopted a global warming limit of 2° C or below (relative to
pre-industrial levels) as a guiding principle for mitigation efforts to reduce climate change …

Evidence of the effect of external influences on the climate system has continued to
accumulate since the Third Assessment Report (TAR). The evidence now available is …

The near-global retreat of glaciers over the last century provides some of the most iconic
imagery for communicating the reality of anthropogenic climate change to the public …

Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) remains one of the most important unknowns in climate
change science. ECS is defined as the global mean warming that would occur if the …
