New research: climate may be more sensitive and situation more dire | Dana Nuccitelli

When comparing apples to apples, a new study finds energy budget climate sensitivity estimates consistent with climate models Scientists use a variety of approaches to estimate the Earth’s climate sensitivity – how much the planet will warm as a result of humans increasing greenhouse effect. For decades, the different methods were all in good general agreement that if we double the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, Earth’s surface temperatures will immediately warm by
