What changed
Estimated how changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide could alter surface temperature through radiative effects.
Scientific scope
Estimated how changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide could alter surface temperature through radiative effects. Scope limitation: The historical calculation is a foundation, not a modern climate forecast. Its parameters and feedback treatment differ from current models.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. The historical calculation is a foundation, not a modern climate forecast. Its parameters and feedback treatment differ from current models.
