Summary

Description
English: Transient climate response is the temperature after increasing CO2 values 1% a year until it doubles, which happens after 70 years. After many centuries, the climate reaches a new equilibrium temperature. Estimating this equilibrium temperature from the transient period and under the assumption of the climate sensitivity parameter being constant, gives the effective equilibrium sensitivity. In climate model simulation, the climate sensitivity parameter often increases over time, so that the Equilibrium climate sensitivity is often a bit higher than the effective climate sensitivity. Waiting millennia more feedbacks kick in: vegetation and ice sheet adjust, which leads to further temperature increases. The code used to create the figure can be found here: https://github.com/Femkemilene/Global-Warming-Figures/tree/master/measures_CS.
