Understanding how sensitive the climate is to different forcings is essential for projecting change. Analysis of results from climate model intercomparison projects shows that the climate has a greater sensitivity to aerosols and ozone compared with CO2. This result means that the low-range projections of climate response to CO2, <1.3 °C, are unlikely.
