Appraising Marvel et al.: Implications of forcing efficacies for climate sensitivity estimates
by Nicholas Lewis
Different agents may have effects on global temperature (GMST) different to those which would be expected simply by reference to the radiative forcing they exert. This difference is encapsulated in the term “forcing efficacy”.
Global Temperature Trends After Detrending with the AMO
by Craig Loehle
This is a short summary of my new paper Global Temperature Trends Adjusted for Unforced Variability.
How sensitive is global temperature to cumulative CO2 emissions?
by Nic Lewis
The mean carbon cycle behaviour of CMIP5 ESMs and EMICs may be quite unrealistic.
Climate closure (?)
by Judith Curry
The scientific debate is now over; the moment of closure has arrived. – Shaun Lovejoy
The uncertainty of climate sensitivity and its implication for the Paris negotiations
by Judith Curry
A burning question for the Paris negotiations: Are the INDCs sufficient to prevent 2 degrees of warming?
Observational support for Lindzen’s iris hypothesis
by Judith Curry
It’s nice to see that our ‘discredited’ theory doesn’t seem to go away. – Richard Lindzen
Modeling Lindzen’s adaptive infrared iris
by Rud Istvan
In 2001, MIT’s Professor Richard Lindzen and colleagues published a controversial paper titled “Does the Earth have an Adaptive Infrared Iris?” [1] If there were a tropical adaptive infrared iris, then Earth’s sensitivity to GHGs would be much less than the IPCC had supposed.
Bjorn Stevens in the cross-fire
by Judith Curry
Bjorn Stevens has published two interesting and important papers in the last few weeks, which have placed him squarely in the cross-fire of both the scientific and public debates on climate change.
Climate sensitivity: Ringberg edition
by Judith Curry
Presentations are now available from the WCRP Workshop on Earth’s Climate Sensitivity.
The website for the Workshop is [here]. Several articles on the Workshop have been written:
