Disentangling greenhouse warming and aerosol cooling to reveal Earth's climate sensitivity
Abstract
Earth's climate sensitivity has been debated. An econometric analysis of observations shows that aerosol cooling has masked about one-third of greenhouse gas warming and yields a transient climate sensitivity of 2 ± 0.8 °C.
