'''Climate commitment''' describes the fact that Earth's [[climate]] reacts with a delay to influencing factors ("[[climate forcing]]s") such as the presence of [[greenhouse gas]]es. Climate commitment studies attempt to assess the amount of future [[global warming]] that is "committed" under the assumption of some constant level of forcing. The constant level often used for illustrative purposes is that due to [[carbon dioxide|{{CO2}}]] doubling or quadrupling relative to the pre-industrial level; or the present level of forcing.
