Climate Models circa early 1990s
Global climate models, 2013
1) Compare temperature projections for 2090-2099 from two different climate models
-- Are there major differences between the climate models?
2) Compare temperature projections for 2090-2099 from the same climate model under two different emission scenarios: A1B (moderate emissions) and A2 (high emissions)
-- Does the emission scenario make a difference?
