We just published a paper on climate sensitivity in #CMIP6 models: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.102…
Figured it was time for my first twitter thread!

We found that effective climate sensitivity (#ECS), when averaged across all #CMIP6 models* (orange), was larger than in #CMIP5 (blue) by about 0.6 deg C (about 1 deg F).

This is mostly (but not entirely) due to stronger positive feedbacks from changes in low-level clouds. That is, most models predict that as Earth warms, cloud properties change so as to allow more sunlight to be absorbed, causing additional heating & ultimately more warming.
