Abstract
Climate sensitivity is a fundamental yet uncertain metric of Earth’s response to anthropogenic forcing; its temporal evolution in particular is poorly constrained yet critical for leveraging historical observations for future projections. A Bayesian energy balance model indicates a 83% (84%) probability that the climate sensitivity increased
(decreased) from 1900-1940 (1940-2010). These trends are attributable to spatial warming patterns likely to reverse in the future, and are distinct from Earth-system-model-derived analogs.
