COMMON SENSE CLIMATE INDEX  

Definition

  • The Common Sense Climate Index (Hansen et al. 1998) is a simple measure of the degree (if any) to which practical climate change is occurring. The index is a composite of several everyday climate indicators. It is expected to have positive values when warming occurs and negative values for cooling. If the Index reaches and consistently maintains a value of 1 or more, the climate change should be noticeable to most people who have lived at that location for a few decades. (en)
