Discussion Post
• Calculate the best estimate of the total radiative forcing from the provided figure of individual radiative forcings from the IPCC (see slide 37 of Lecture 8). Hint: You don't need to include the "net anthropogenic" term when conducting this calculation. Please show your work.
• Calculate the range of possible values for the total radiative forcing. Show your work.
• What conclusions does the total radiative forcing tell you about how the climate has changed? Use 2-4 sentences for your response.
• How does the range of values (or uncertainties) affect the above conclusions? Use 2-4 sentences for your response.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
