Assessing the robustness and implications of econometric estimates of climate sensitivity by Trude Storelvmo, Menghan Yuan, Thomas Leirvik, Kari Alterskjær, Peter C B Phillips, Chris Smith

“…TCR is highly correlated with near-term climate projections, and thus of relevance for climate policy, but remains poorly constrained in part due to uncertainties in the representation of key physical processes in Earth System Models (ESMs). Within state-of-the-art ESMs participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), the TCR range (1.1 ^∘ C–2.9 ^∘ C) is too wide to offer useful guidance to policymakers. …”
