A new, lower estimate of climate sensitivity

Arguments by Michaels vs What the Science Says
"Climate sensitivity is low"

Net positive feedback is confirmed by many different lines of evidence.

"Schmittner finds low climate sensitivity"

The Schmittner et al. study finds low probability of both very low and very high climate sensitivities, and its lower estimate (as compared to the IPCC) is based on a new temperature reconstruction of the Last Glacial Maximum that may or may not withstand the test of time.
