'''Climate commitment''' describes the fact that [[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 warming that is "committed" under the assumption of some constant level of forcings. The constant level often used for illustrative purposes is [[carbon dioxide|CO2]] doubling or quadrupling; or the present level of forcing.
