«It is important to take the global
projections and zoom them in to regional and
local levels to better understand the societal impacts of
climate change,» Pal says.
This combination of uncertain
projections,
local and global effects, and potential for human adaptation makes it difficult to attribute current, much less future,
changes and trends in Montana agriculture solely to
climate change.
Our new study links a framework for global and
local sea - level rise
projections with simulations of two major mechanisms by which
climate change can affect t...
The big takeaway from this study: While there is uncertainty in
projections for
changes in the
climate indices reviewed here (especially El Niño and La Niña), this study serves to alert us to the fact that the
climate impacts that our
local coastal communities face are based in large part on
changes that occur on both a large, global scale and over the long, decadal term.
This study links a framework for global and
local sea - level rise
projections with simulations of two major mechanisms by which
climate change can affect the vast Antarctic ice sheet.
The
Climate Impact Lab's sea - level rise
projections use a framework that ties together multiple threads of information to assess the probability of
local sea - level
changes around the world, under different future emissions scenarios.
By putting the
local climate into the context of the larger picture, analyzing the uncertainties, and evaluating the methods in terms of past
changes, I think that
local climate projections can provide useful information.
A first step towards planning adaptation policies of SLR would be the
projection of SLR at the
local level at different time scales and at its different scenarios, as devised by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC).
The overarching goal of this WCRP research effort, led by WCRP's Core Project «
Climate and Ocean Variability, Predictability and
Change» (CLIVAR) as a Research Focus, is to establish a quantitative understanding of the natural and anthropogenic mechanisms of regional to
local sea level variability; to promote advances in observing systems required for an integrated sea level monitoring; and to foster the development of sea level predictions and
projections that are of increasing benefit for coastal zone management.
This study links a framework for global and
local sea - level rise
projections with simulations of two major mechanisms by which
climate change can affect the vast Antarctic ice sheet.
Food security and food production systems: On a sentence on impacts of projected
climate change without adaptation on the major crops, in response to queries from Tanzania and the UK, a CLA explained that: confidence goes down when restricting
projections to certain crops and regions; and the use of
local temperatures was consistent with the literature.
Climate change was assessed by means of two Long Ashton Research Station - Weather Generator (LARS - WG) weather generators and all outputs from the available general circulation models in the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse - gas Induced Climate Change - SCENario GENerator (MAGICC - SCENGEN) software, in combination with different emission scenarios at the regional scale, while the Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) model has been used for projections at the local

During the segment, Stossel portrayed skepticism about global warming as just as scientifically valid as respectable scientific research and opinion showing that the
climate is
changing; misleadingly suggested that
projections of the future global
climate are comparable to a
local news channel's «weather forecast»; and highlighted Crichton's claim that
climate scientists have an incentive to exaggerate global warming in order to win grants.
Rosenzweig et al. (2005) found that
climate change based on downscaled general circulation model (GCM)
projections would exacerbate the New York City UHI by increasing baseline temperatures and reducing
local wind speeds.
