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 …

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

Changing atmospheric CO2 concentration was the primary driver of early Cenozoic climate
Abstract The Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO, which occurred about 51 to 53 million
years ago), was the warmest interval of the past 65 million years, with mean annual surface …

Assessing “dangerous climate change”: Required reduction of carbon emissions to protect young people, future generations and nature
We assess climate impacts of global warming using ongoing observations and paleoclimate
data. We use Earth's measured energy imbalance, paleoclimate data, and simple …

Young people's burden: requirement of negative CO2 emissions
Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which
implies that keeping shorelines near their present location requires keeping global …

Plio-Pleistocene climate sensitivity evaluated using high-resolution CO2 records
Abstract Theory and climate modelling suggest that the sensitivity of Earth's climate to
changes in radiative forcing could depend on the background climate. However …

Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years
CW Snyder - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Reconstructions of Earth's past climate strongly influence our understanding of the dynamics
and sensitivity of the climate system. Yet global temperature has been reconstructed for only …

Mid-Pleistocene climate transition triggered by Antarctic Ice Sheet growth
Despite extensive investigation, the nature and causes of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
remain enigmatic. In this work, we assess its linkage to asynchronous development of …
