Abstract

We consider a simple climate model of global warming to help understand and constrain predictions from the more comprehensive General Circulation Models (GCMs). By using observations to constrain the climate gain factor, which presents the greatest uncertainty in GCMs, we discuss the atmosphere's response to a doubling of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere in both equilibrium and time-dependent states.
