This figure appears in chapter 2 of the Climate Science Special Report: The Fourth National Climate Assessment: Volume I report.

Bar chart for radiative forcing (RF; hatched) and effective radiative forcing (ERF; solid) for the period 1750–2011, where the total ERF is derived from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report. Uncertainties (5% to 95% confidence range) are given for RF (dotted lines) and ERF (solid lines). Volcanic forcing is not shown because this forcing is intermittent, exerting forcing over only a few years for eruptions during the industrial era; the net forcing over the industrial era is negligible.
