Implications of potentially lower climate sensitivity on climate projections and policy

Climate sensitivity, the long-term temperature response to CO _2 , has been notoriously difficult to constrain until today. Estimates based on the observed warming trends favor lower values, while the skill with which comprehensive climate models are able to simulate present day climate implies high...
