🚨 Using IPCC methodology, the total greenhouse gas forcing in 2025 was 4.11 W/m²‼️ That's equal to a doubling of CO₂ relative to pre-industrial. Why is this not clearly being communicated? Why is the strong TROPOSPHERIC ozone forcing omitted?

"First, the negative aerosol forcing exceeds IPCC estimates, which will increase the warming as we clean up air pollution. Second, the warming will exceed the estimates that centered on a climate sensitivity 3°C for 2×CO2, because actual climate sensitivity is higher than that." #science #climate

Is it because it is overall harder to understand than just CO2 ppm although it is possibly more accurate? Is the climate change field already crammed with info and this is being overlooked? Is it hard to understand for the people in the field? Do other scientists dismiss it? I dunno
