Earth System Sensitivity

Earth System Sensitivity is a climate sensitivity metric that quantifies the long-term equilibrium global mean surface temperature change in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO₂ concentration, incorporating slow feedbacks from Earth system components such as ice sheets, vegetation, and the carbon cycle, thereby distinguishing it from faster-acting radiative forcings and feedbacks considered in equilibrium climate sensitivity.
