 \npresents\n\nAn Estimate of Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity From Interann
 ual Variability\n\na talk by\n	Andy Dessler\n	Professor\, \n	Department of At
 mospheric Sciences\, Texas A&M University\, Texas\n\nEquilibrium climate s
 ensitivity (ECS) is the amount of equilibrium warming resulting from doubl
 ing carbon dioxide. It is one of the important metrics in climate science 
 because it is a primary determinant of how much warming we will experience
  in the future. Despite decades of work\, this quantity remains uncertain:
  the last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report stated a range 
 for ECS of 1.5–4.5 °C. In this talk\, I will review the different ways we 
 can estimate ECS from observations and describe a new approach using obser
 vations of interannual climate variations covering the period 2000 to 2017
 . That method suggests that ECS is likely 2.4–4.6 K. Thus\, our analysis p
 rovides no support for the bottom of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climat
 e Change’s range.\n\nMonday Sep 09/ 3:30 PM/ Burnside Hall/ Room 934\n
