Abstract:

This paper uses CSIRO and AGAGE carbon dioxide and non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas data (Cape Grim and global) to derive Southern Hemisphere and global radiative forcing to compare to IPCC estimates reported in recent international assessments of climate change. The radiative forcing calculations were updated to 2010 and reported to the Australian government via the Garnaut review of climate change.
