Climate activist "Rocky" says: "We’ve already experienced 1C of warming Dave." https://twitter.com/Rocky35418823/status/1578520519648759808 I presume he means 1°C of human-caused global warming. That's a plausible number, albeit near the high end of plausibility. So, let's start with that assumption. We've already had CO2 forcing = about 58% of a "doubling" of CO2; here's how you calculate it: log2(419/280) = 0.5815 https://www.google.com/search?q=log2(419%2F280)+%3D The usual estimate is that about 2/3 of anthropogenic warming is from CO2. Myhre (1998) estimated 58%. Let's use the 2/3 figure. Then if, as Rocky says, we've had 1°C of anthropogenic warming, that means only 2/3 °C is from CO2. If 58% of a doubling yields 2/3 °C, that means "practical sensitivity" S is: (2/3)/0.58 = 1.15°C/doubling. So, if: "Practical sensitivity" S is 1.15°C (as we just calculated) and ECS = 1.5 × TCR (a typical estimate) and S is midway between ECS and TCR (because TCR is much "faster" than reality, and ECS is much "slower" than reality.) Note: definitions for TCR and ECS climate sensitivity can be found here: https://sealevel.info/glossary.html#sensit Then we have two equations in two unknowns (TCR and ECS): S = (ECS + TCR) / 2 ECS = 1.5 × TCR Solving: S = (2.5 × TCR) / 2 = 1.25 × TCR TCR = S / 1.25 = 1.15 / 1.25 = 0.92°C ECS = 1.5 × TCR = 1.5 × (S / 1.25) = 1.2 × S = 1.2 × 1.15 = 1.38°C Each of those are about half of the IPCC's AR6 central estimates (1.8°C and 3.0°C, respectively). ∴ The IPCC's climate sensitivity estimates are incompatible with observed warming.
