Recent assessments have found the last glacial maximum implies a climate sensitivity of 2.4C (1.4C to 5.0C): science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… And the Pliocene implies a sensitivity of 3.1C (2.3C to 4.7C): pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25… Paleoclimate evidence generally provides the strongest constraint on high ECS.

The Pliocene climate was more sensitive than the current climate, suggesting that the upper bound of potential 21st-century warming—an estimate informed by Pliocene warming—should be revised down from 5 °C to 4 °C, according to the authors. In PNAS: ow.ly/clo450Y5yUn

Great post diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/… from @micefearboggis about a new surface temperature dataset

Finally, a really new global temperature dataset

New-global-temperature-dataset day is better than Christmas.

Our new paper on tropical cloud feedbacks is out in @NatureGeosci. We show that changes in high cloud area do not provide a negative feedback on climate change like previously thought. Instead, high clouds become thinner with warming, which acts as a... nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

Modern-day ECS estimates from recent assessments, including the Sherwood, Webb et al (2020 study (yellow), IPCC AR6 (red) and this study (blue). Dots show central estimates. The coloured bars show the likely range and the very likely range is given by whiskers. Chart by Carbon Brief based on data provided by V Cooper and K Armour

Excellent @CarbonBrief article by @VTCoop and @karmour_uw discussing their recent paper finding that new estimates from the last glacial maximum suggest that high climate sensitivity (>4C per doubling CO2) may be less likely than previously thought: carbonbrief.org/guest-post-i…

Theres an important new study from many of the leading researchers on paleoclimate and climate sensitivity. They provide a new, more robust estimate of climate sensitivity from the last glacial maximum, suggesting a sensitivity of 2.9C (95%: 2.1 to 4.1C) science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
