Explore Torben Schmith's method of estimating climate sensitivity using semi-empirical approaches, including feedback mechanisms like Boltzmann, water vapor, ice-albedo, and cloud. This study delves into global climate modeling and Earth system modeling to determine climate sensitivity. Learn about the IPCC's range of 2.1-4.4 K for 2xCO2 scenarios and how paleo-studies and instrumental data contribute to our understanding. The research utilizes energy balance models, Myhre et al. data, ECHO-G model results, and the Cointegrated VAR approach for model identification and estimation.
