This paper seems potentially important:

Nature Sherwood et al Paper

further discussion and short video by an author of the paper at the climate state:

Climate State

Basically they find models with low sensitivity aren't mixing water vapour correctly so we won't get a lot of cooling low clouds as the climate warms.

I expect it will take a fair bit of reviewing now it is published before it should be considered a game changer but potentially it looks like it might be very important.

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with this. I missed a lot during the holidays. These ideas about atmospheric mixing look important.
