List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This data set contains:

- Observed warming (2010-2019 relative to 1850-1900)
- Aggregated contributions to 2010-2019 warming relative 1850 -1900, assessed from attribution studies
- Contributions to 2010-2019 warming relative to 1850-1900, assessed from radiative studies

---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
Panel a:

- Data file: panel_a/SPM2a.csv (Observed warming). Mean value is used for the bar plot and top and bottom values are used for the error bars and they represent borders of the very likely range.

Panel b:

- Data file: panel_b/SPM2b.csv (Aggregated contributions assessed from attribution studies). Mean values are used for the bar plot and top and bottom values are used for the error bars and represent the borders of the very likely range

Panel c:

- Data file: panel_c/SPM2c_data.csv (Contributions assessed from radiative studies). Total global surface air temperature (GSAT) effect values are used for the bar plots and 5% and 95% very likely limit values are used for the error bars.

Abstract

Assessed contributions to observed warming in 2010–2019 relative to 1850–1900.
Panel a): Observed global warming (increase in global surface temperature) and its very likely range {3.3.1, Cross-Chapter Box 2.3}.
Panel b): Evidence from attribution studies, which synthesize information from climate models and observations. The panel shows temperature change attributed to total human influence, changes in well-mixed greenhouse gas concentrations, other human drivers due to aerosols, ozone and land-use change (land-use reflectance), solar and volcanic drivers, and internal climate variability. Whiskers show likely ranges {3.3.1}.
Panel c): Evidence from the assessment of radiative forcing and climate sensitivity. The panel shows temperature changes from individual components of human influence, including emissions of greenhouse gases, aerosols and their precursors; land-use changes (land-use reflectance and irrigation); and aviation contrails. Whiskers show very likely ranges. Estimates account for both direct emissions into the atmosphere and their effect, if any, on other climate drivers. For aerosols, both direct (through radiation) and indirect (through interactions with clouds) effects are considered. {6.4.2, 7.3}
