Note that while results from fingerprint detection approaches will be affected by

uncertainty in estimates of the near - surface temperature response to greenhouse gas forcing is

However, taking account of sampling
uncertainty (as most more recent detection and attribution studies do, including those shown in Figure 9.9) makes

uncertainty.
It should be noted, however, that the risks presented for the earliest cohort are based on
