I came up with a simple empirical model to estimate climate sensitivity based on a global mean surface temperature record and estimated values of climate forcing. Using Land-Ocean GMST values from NASA GISS, I obtain a climate sensitivity of 1.7 C. This is below the range of climate sensitivity predicted by most [...]
