Clouds study finds that low climate sensitivity is ‘extremely unlikely’
It is “very likely” that the way clouds change as the world warms will drive further temperature rise, a new study finds. The response of clou... Read More
ゲスト投稿：低い「気候感度」が除外できた理由

Guest post: How declining ice in clouds makes high ‘climate sensitivity’ plausible
Simulations from the latest climate models have suggested that the Earth’s climate might be more sensitive to increasing atmospheric CO2 than previ... Read More
Guest post: Why low-end 'climate sensitivity' can now be ruled out
After four years of labour and detailed discussions by an international team of scientists, we are able to quantify better than ever before how the w... Read More
Analysis: How ‘carbon-cycle feedbacks’ could make global warming worse
Scientists making climate-change projections have to deal with a number of uncertainties. The amount of global warming will depend on the magnitud... Read More
Guest post: Why results from the next generation of climate models matter

Explainer: How scientists estimate ‘climate sensitivity’
The sensitivity of the Earth’s climate to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration is a question that sits at the heart of climate science. Es... Read More
Explainer: Six ideas to limit global warming with solar geoengineering
Scientists agree that cutting global greenhouse emissions as soon as possible will be key to tackling global warming. But, with global emissions still... Read More
Long-term climate variability ‘could fall’ as the world warms
Long-term climate variability is the range of temperatures and weather patterns experienced by the Earth over a scale of thousands of years. New resea... Read More
New study ‘reduces uncertainty’ for climate sensitivity
Scientists have presented a new, narrower estimate of the “climate sensitivity” – a measure of how much the climate could warm in response to ... Read More
In-depth: Scientists discuss how to improve climate models
While global climate models do a good job of simulating the Earth’s climate, they are not perfect. Carbon Brief's series on climate modelling ... Read More
