Also important is the fact that different GCMs yield different regional climate change patterns, even for similar magnitudes of global warming (see Chapter 10).

Observational and model studies of temperature change, climate feedbacks and changes in the Earth's energy budget together provide confidence in the magnitude of global warming in response to past and future forcing.

Projecting the magnitude of global warming that will occur in response to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the most critical challenges of climate science.

Writing up their findings in the Journal of Climate, the scientists have noted that the «greatest weakness» of most climate prediction models, namely their comprehension of the significance of clouds, may be in «the one aspect that is most crucial for predicting the magnitude of global warming».

And those goals were, if not admirable, certainly not contemptible — to advise governments on the magnitude of the global warming that was then being observed, chart its future course, provide guidance on its effects and possible actions to mitigate them.

A key objection to using peak warming targets in isolation is that the feasibility and cost of adapting to future climate change will also depend strongly on the rate of change and not just on the magnitude of global warming.

Sadly, given the magnitude of global warming crisis, the rest of the world will have to wait until the pendulum of US history swings back to the maternal model and the US can engage collaboratively and deploy its enormous resources to work with the rest of the world.

Thus, if impacted, evidence on the impact of climate change in high latitudes should tell us, with a high certainty, much about the consequence and the magnitude of global warming.

«We don't know the exact timing or the magnitude of the global warming threat.

Few of us on the periphery of climatological research pretend to be experts on the magnitude of global warming, but somehow all of the pundits and politicians are taken seriously by news outlets.
