- Abstract
The article presents a study which focuses on the comparison of the response of four Earth system models to climate change engineering under the scenario G1 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). The study uses the reduction of the solar constant to balance the radiative forcing from an instantaneous quadrupling of the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in G1. Results show that temperature responses are small in G1 as compared with the CO2 alone.
