text: but also a result of the different forcings inﬂuencing the atmosphere model at the time of passing 
  each GWL, and the interaction with the climate sensitivity of HadGEM3. The radiative forcing 
  of non-CO2 forcings has previously been highlighted as a potentially important inﬂuence on 
  patterns of climate change at 1.5°C and 2°C global warming [39]. Furthermore, despite some 
  differences in regional climate responses between ensemble members, there were also some 
  remarkable consistencies especially in the changes that might be considered inconsistent with 
  a warming climate, such as regions such as northern South America where heavy rainfall 
  (Rx5day) decreases rather increasing as might be expected under a warming climate. Again, these 
  consistencies point to some common forcing of all simulations.

  One key factor is the different times of passing a particular GWL, because the net radiative 
  forcing would be different even though the same emissions and concentration scenario was used 
  in all simulations. A given GWL was reached at a different time in each ensemble member, so 
  the CO2 and aerosol concentrations vary between ensemble members; in members reaching a 
  GWL early, such as that driven by IPSL-CM5A-LR, the CO2 concentration is relatively lower 
  than in other members, and the total aerosol concentration would be relatively higher (CO2 
  concentrations are projected to increase in RCP8.5, but aerosol concentrations are projected 
  decline). The net radiative forcing is smaller, because in RCP8.5 the increase positive radiative 
  forcing from CO2 is greater than the decrease in net negative radiative forcing from aerosols. 
  Moreover, the physiological effect of CO2 is also smaller, meaning that the consequent reduction 
  in transpiration and associated additional land surface warming inﬂuence would also be expected 
  to be smaller.
