Climate sensitivity

(

)

... that if climate sensitivity is on the high side of what scientists estimate, it may be impossible to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F)? Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-018-0097-x: However, remaining below these temperature targets without temporarily exceeding them (overshooting) is only possible under limited conditions. If climate sensitivity is above 3.4 °C (the 2 °C target case) or 2.2 °C (the 1.5 °C target case), the targets are not achievable (with all other model assumptions intact) because emissions cannot be reduced fast enough to sufficiently limit rising temperatures.
- ALT1:~~... that climate scientists can estimate climate sensitivity to CO₂ by studying how much climate changed in Earth's past?~~ https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-scientists-estimate-climate-sensitivity: Scientists can also look at the more distant past to evaluate the sensitivity of the climate, by comparing palaeoclimate changes in the Earth’s past to estimates of changes in forcings

reviewed:Not needed
Article being actively worked on; see talk page. HLHJ (talk) 04:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

And article work is now finished (other round of copy-edit + removal of jargon). Femke Nijsse (talk) 09:36, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Full review needed now that the article work has been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Striking hook with too many "climates" in it. Yoninah (talk) 00:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

As a new GA, it's is long enough, it is well sourced. At the time of its nomination it was new enough. I am okay with the hook. There is no QPQ. --evrik ^(talk) 22:47, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

As this is my second DYK, I don't need a QPQ yet, I don't think. Femke Nijsse (talk) 07:06, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but several paragraphs and one overlong caption need citations, per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 23:23, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Done, and also clarified sentences that were tagged. Femke Nijsse (talk) 10:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per evrik's review. Yoninah (talk) 18:59, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
