It’s an attempt to defang the recent surge of interest in Bjørn Stevens’ aerosol forcing estimates. To some people, those estimates imply a lower estimate of ECS, and a reduced likelihood of the more extreme future warming scenarios…

If it turns out to be true – and it seems like we won’t know the true value for ECS for another decade or longer – then AGW would have been largely overstated. The estimates constantly change, which is…
