Greta gets it. Michael, for all his great scientific accomplishments and studies which I quote frequently in my educational materials…. does not. Not when it comes to the human system which is the greater cause of our overshoot-and-crash trajectory.
For just one example – how can people still believe in ECS=3C as the number to believe for the coming decades and centuries? Do the math – it’s simple! I’ll show you… As of now, we’re at 49% of the way from pre-industrial 280ppm CO2 and a doubling at 560 ppm. Yet by the Schurer, Mann et al 2017 proper determination (finally!!) of the actual pre-industrial baseline, we’re also at a Lowess smoothed +1.48C temperature (GISS data). So if we were merely to remain on a linear CO2 trend, then TRANSIENT ECS would be +3.0C. But then keeping CO2 at 560ppm and waiting for the fast feedbacks and radiative equilibrium to finally playout from their intertia, we have to add another ~+1C, for a final ECS of 4C. But wait
