projections of

They are also keenly aware of the uncertainty surrounding
projections of
economic growth, patterns of production and
future energy technologies.
All such
projections involve assumptions about the
future that can not be tested, so the authors spread their bets: they considered a range of scenarios involving crude population growth, levels of
economic growth with time, and a series of predictions of sea level rise, as icecaps and glaciers melt, and as the oceans warm and expand according to predictable physical laws.
Another potential source of error comes from

For the measures with wider deviations, many factors contribute to differences between the AEO Reference case
projections and realized outcomes, but two primary contributors are the initial
projections of
future oil prices and overall
economic activity that are used in NEMS.5 These projections can greatly influence the other projections made by the model, which is why each recent AEO includes alternative cases exploring differences in economic growth (Low and High Economic Growth cases) and in oil prices (Low and High Oil Price
economic activity that are used in NEMS.5 These
projections can greatly influence the other
projections made by the model, which is why each recent AEO includes alternative cases exploring differences in

Economic Growth cases) and in oil prices (Low and High Oil Price cases).
Yet, model
projections of
future global warming vary, because of differing estimates of population growth,

Specifically, key parameters of the Human System, such as fertility, health, migration,
economic inequality, unemployment, GDP per capita, resource use per capita, and emissions per capita, must depend on the dynamic variables of the Human — Earth coupled system.26 Not including these feedbacks would be like trying to make El Niño predictions using dynamic atmospheric models but with sea surface temperatures as an external input based on
future projections independently produced (e.g., by the UN) without feedbacks.
This is further complicated by some political rejection of science - based

Current
projections of
future resource use and greenhouse gas emissions used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and Integrated Assessment Models (discussed further in the third Section) also depend heavily on a continuation of high levels of global
economic inequality and poverty far into the
future.
However, in current models that explore the
future of humanity and environment, and guide policy, key Human System variables, such as demographics, inequality,
economic growth, and migration, are not coupled with the Earth System but are instead driven by exogenous estimates such as United Nations (UN) population
projections.
