Introduction. Pliocene climate, processes and problems
... The CO2 increases reconstructed for the Pliocene, up to 425 ppm by volume, would produce a radiative forcing of approximately 2.5 W mK2. This may be sufficient to explain the warmth of the Pliocene globally (depending on the chosen climate sensitivity parameter, and whether there are any significant c ...
