Change:
In UKCIP08, for example, we are handling this problem by combining results from two different types
of ensemble data: One is a systematic sampling
of the uncertainties in a single model, obtained by
changing uncertain parameters that

alternative models developed at different international centers.
That response, the panel concluded, ought to include not only a strong policy to begin reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also a plan to begin adapting to climate
change, some amount
