Climate sensitivity, or how much the Earth's surface will warm if we double CO2, is one of the major questions in climate science. I take a look at 142 studies of sensitivity over last the two decades in the new @CarbonBrief explainer https://t.co/IOe0HjVxy3

Are IAMs using too much BECCS?
Many IAMs have land models, but independent studies generally have lower estimates. Crop yields & land availability key uncertainties. #negco2@hausfath

THREAD:
What are SSPs, you ask?
Well, they are about to shape climate policy discussions for the next 5-10+ years, so if you don't know about them, then you better read this @hausfath explainer...

MUST READ (if you are into climate change & carbon budgets)
We may have blown the budget for 66% chance at 1.5°C 5 years ago, or we may have another 20 years at current emissions.
@hausfath does a great job comparing recent estimates!

New @IOPenvironment: In Pará, Brazil, oil palm area expanded >200% between 2006 to 2014 but direct conversion of intact forests declined <1% after Brazil launched the Sustainable Palm Oil Production Program in 2010—E Benami, LM Curran, et al https://t.co/nJQtXEJigD

"I suspect in the next year or two ... we’ll start to see a lot more scenarios using lower levels of bioenergy with CCS"
Here's hoping... The clock has started!
