Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim?

Paleoclimate d ata show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO2, including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, i s ~6°C for doubled CO 2 fo r the range o f cl imate states between glacial conditions and ice-free Antarctica. Decreasing CO2 was the main cause of a cooling trend that began 50 m illion yea rs a go, the pl anet b...
