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

We assess climate impacts of global warming using ongoing observations and paleoclimate
data. We use Earth's measured energy imbalance, paleoclimate data, and simple …

Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change yields Charney
(fast-feedback) equilibrium climate sensitivity 1.2±0.3° C (2σ) per W/m2, which is 4.8° C±1.2° …

We use numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study
the effect of growing ice melt from Antarctica and Greenland. Meltwater tends to stabilize the …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing humanity, a definitive manifestation of
the well-worn links between progress and devastation. This book explores the complex …

Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which
implies that kee** shorelines near their present location requires kee** global …

Cenozoic temperature, sea level and CO2 covariations provide insights into climate
sensitivity to external forcings and sea-level sensitivity to climate change. Climate sensitivity …

In April 2011, we published the first peer‐reviewed analysis of the greenhouse gas footprint
(GHG) of shale gas, concluding that the climate impact of shale gas may be worse than that …

Effects of climate change on health will affect most populations in the next decades and put
the lives and wellbeing of billions of people at increased risk. During this century, earth's …
