Sea-surface temperature pattern effects have slowed global warming and biased warming-based constraints on climate sensitivity
The observed rate of global warming since the 1970s has been proposed as a strong
constraint on equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and transient climate response (TCR) …
