Forecasting the magnitude of future global warming is among the great scientific challenges. Model estimates of long-term warming resulting from a doubling of the CO2 concentration relative to the pre-industrial era range between 1.5 and 4.5 °C. The large uncertainty in this Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) may represent the difference between the melting or conservation of large continental ice sheets, and between habitable and inhabitable regions. SPANC will quantify ECS through accurate reconstructions of past climate change. Existing ECS studies largely focus on periods that were colder than present. Importantly, however, my development of a reliable method to reconstruct past CO2…
