This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

This chapter assesses long-term projections of climate change for the end of the 21st
century and beyond, where the forced signal depends on the scenario and is typically larger …

Climate change has been a much-debated issue for some years, but it is now widely
accepted that well-established climate patterns are indeed changing. It is becoming a matter …

Climate change has emerged as one of the defining political and socioeconomic issues of
the twenty-first century. Although it has been part of the scientific agenda since the 1970s, it …

If greenhouse gas concentrations were stabilized at their current level, existing
concentrations would commit the world to at least an additional 1.1 F (0.6 C) of warming over …

This latest Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) will again form the standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate …

Schneider points out some of the consequences of the deliberate choice not to discuss the
possibilities of CO2 emissions and how that can--and has--led to confusion on the part of the …

This chapter assesses the capacity of the global climate models used elsewhere in this
report for projecting future climate change. Confidence in model estimates of future climate …

The results presented in this chapter are based on simulations made with global climate
models and apply to spacial scales of hundreds of kilometres and larger. Chapter 10 …
