Climate Sensitivity through the Lens of Measurement Practice
– Matthias Ackermann

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky
ABSTRACT. In its Sixth Assessment Report, the IPCC moved from a climate model-based to a climate model-supported assessment of equilibrium climate sensitivity. Unlike previous reports, climate model information is no longer used directly for estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity. I offer a measurement view on the equilibrium climate sensitivity assessment that allows us to evaluate this shift in practice in terms of its practical and epistemic consequences. In particular, I argue for two conclusions involved in this move. First, the change in using climate models as direct sources of evidence to a supporting role involves a kind of repurposing of climate models as epistemic tools. This change should be evaluated relative to the researchers' aims, which include more accurately assessing equilibrium climate sensitivity. Second, I suggest that this shift in practice shares a kinship to calibration activities aimed at increasing the reliability of a measurement procedure.
