in Earth's atmosphere, whose warming influence has nearly doubled since 1979, shows mankind's influence on the global climate. Climate commitment describes the fact that Earth's climate reacts with a delay to influencing factors ("climate forcings") such as the growth and the greater presence of greenhouse gases. Climate commitment studies attempt to assess the amount of future global warming that is "committed" under the assumption of some constant or some evolving level of forcing. The constant level often used for illustrative purposes is that due to doubling or quadrupling relative to the pre-industrial level; or the present level of forcing.
