Yes, many model simulations are abrupt. But your cited article explains why:
And the same article defines ECS:
Nothing about the doubling and/or equilibrium being abrupt.
Obviously.
Buzz if no timeframe of the simulated release is stated, then the simulated release is abrupt. That is at least how
science is supposed to work, you provide enough information for someone unknown to you to duplicate your work.
As for the equilibrium time, and why ECS is not valid, studies using the same models but simulating smaller releases
reached maximum warming in about a decade.
The time lag between a carbon dioxide emission and maximum warming increases with the size of the emission
For the record, in this study 100 GtC is 47 ppm.
BTW in their definition, since they did not state a time period of the doubling, so it is abrupt!
Then you need to show which model of simulation of ECS was not an abrupt release, you cannot "just say so"!This is false. Longview's article lists some model simulations of ECS that are not abrupt.
Buzz if the Sun's intensity was slowly increasing, but smog prevented that increase from reaching the surface,There was no release. No energy was built up to be later released. Any energy prevented from warming the planet was reflected out to space.
then the removal of the smog would look like a rapid increase in energy.
Here we have a perfect example of longview cherry-picking studies and data.
That study was the IPCC's 23-year-old third assessment report published in 2001. And, of course, long cites the max warming of 0.5 Wm-2 even though the sentence right after the part he quoted says this:
Just yesterday long posted a graph from the much more recent IPCC report AR5 that gave a solar irradiance of 0.05 Wm-2. And last Saturday I posted a graph from the last IPCC report(AR6) that combined the slight warming of solar irradiance with the slight cooling of volcanic activity(both natural) that gave a total warming of 0.0 Wm-2
So... from longview's cherry-picked number of 0.5 Wm-2 to 0.0 Wm-2 just by using the latest report.
The higher natural increase came up in a search, so I went to find it, but consider the TSI reconstruction.
Total Solar Irradiance Data
In the 1600's the average was below 1360.5 W m-2 but the average today is about 1361.0 W m-2.
What is more likely that the people who study Solar Irradiance for a living got it right, or were off by a factor of 10?
Buzz you are the one using creative interpretation.Obviously, longview can't be trusted to cite the most current science and will cherry-pick to get the narrative that he wants.
The increase in Solar intensity since the 1600's is about 0.5W m-2 not 0.05 W m-2.
