I wasn't worried about climate change. Now I am. Feb 11, 2024

Show notes

In this episode I explain what climate sensitivity is and why it is important. Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.
