Unfortunately for policymakers and the public, while the basic
science pointing to a rising human influence on
climate is clear, many of the most important questions will
remain surrounded by deep complexity and
uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (
climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects
in particular places (what global warming means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).
The findings have generated vigorous international debate about an issue that
remains a key area of
uncertainty in climate science.
He says that,
in terms of
climate science research, scientists still need to address the
remaining uncertainties in the carbon cycle: where and how fast the carbon released into the atmosphere goes, how much stays
in the atmosphere, whether there are limits to some natural sinks for carbon and whether there are important new sources of carbon emissions that may be triggered by warming.
