Unfortunately, the figure also confirms that the spatial resolution of theoutput from the GCMs used in the Mediterranean study is too coarse for constructing detailed regional scenarios.To develop more detailed regional scenarios, modelers can combine the GCM results with output from statistical models.3 This is done by constructing a statistical model to explain the observed temperature or precipitation at a meteorological station in terms of a range of regionally - averaged climate variables.

While these and other studies give grounds to believe that very low emissions pathways are not economically prohibitive, none model a short term (e.g., 2010 - 2020) decline of CO2 emissions that is as rapid as that postulated here or in the Ackerman et al. scenarios, all of which have emissions falling by more than 50 % between now and 2020.

Lower case a-h refer to how the literature was addressed in terms of up / downscaling (a — clearly defined global impact for a specific ΔT against a specific baseline, upscaling not necessary; b — clearly defined regional impact at a specific regional ΔT where no GCM used; c — clearly defined regional impact as a result of specific GCM scenarios but study only used the regional ΔT; d — as c but impacts also the result of regional precipitation changes; e — as b but impacts also the result of regional precipitation change; f — regional temperature change is off - scale for upscaling with available GCM patterns to 2100, in which case upscaling is, where possible, approximated by using Figures 10.5 and 10.8 from Meehl et al., 2007; g — studies which estimate the range of possible outcomes in a given location or region considering a multi-model ensemble linked to a global temperature change.

A longer - term scenario in the study analyses the implications of limiting global averages temperature increases to 2 ˚C, confirming the need for China to start planning the early retirement of coal plants not retrofitted with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
