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

Atmospheric CO2 over the Past 66 Million Years from Marine Archives
Throughout Earth's history, CO2 is thought to have exerted a fundamental control on
environmental change. Here we review and revise CO2 reconstructions from boron isotopes …

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Global carbon and other biogeochemical cycles and feedbacks
It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Poleward expansion of tropical cyclone latitudes in warming climates
Tropical cyclones (TCs, also known as hurricanes and typhoons) generally form at low
latitudes with access to the warm waters of the tropical oceans, but far enough off the …

[HTML][HTML] Future climate forcing potentially without precedent in the last 420 million years
The evolution of Earth's climate on geological timescales is largely driven by variations in
the magnitude of total solar irradiance (TSI) and changes in the greenhouse gas content of …

Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …
