The sensitivity of the climate system to an imposed radiative imbalance remains the largest source
of uncertainty in projections of future anthropogenic climate change.
The new tool complements existing modeling activities and
reduces uncertainties in climate models, ultimately making climate projections more accurate.
She has worked with many young adult women who, upon entering adulthood, struggle
with uncertainties in light of the many changes and decisions they face in everyday life.
The study leaves a large range of
uncertainty in how much warming black carbon actually causes.
Given uncertainties in their own analysis, however, they acknowledge that such a disk's existence can not be completely ruled out.
The current environment does favor high dividend paying stocks — with so
much uncertainty in today's markets, seeking out quality stocks can mitigate your risks.
Growing concern over pending legislation to regulate carbon emissions is
creating uncertainty in financial markets.
A judgment of each estimate's reliability is given as a level of scientific understanding based
on uncertainties in the climate change agents and physical understanding of their radiative effects.
A further difficulty arises
from uncertainty in the rate of heat taken up by the ocean in response to a short, strong forcing.
One of their conclusions, and something I have been saying, is that the
biggest uncertainty in future climate is what we do in terms of emissions.
There are
significant uncertainties in exactly what is happening and will happen with the climate, all the feedback mechanisms at play, and what the net results will be.
«The continuing threat is a sense of fear and
uncertainty in what is going to happen,» he said.
First of all,
uncertainty in sea level rise acceleration, as measured by satellites is quite large.
Alternatively, the resurgence could be constrained by fiscal problems at the federal and state level or
economic uncertainty in other parts of the world.
The largest
uncertainty in projecting future world coal production is determining whether such reserve reductions might occur in other regions, or whether reserves could increase given substantial real price increases.
But the scientists involved in recommending the caps for the proposal say that there is still
considerable uncertainty in both the estimation of existing whale populations and what constitutes a safe or sustainable target.
Nevertheless, if
structural uncertainties in observations and models are fully accounted for, a partial resolution of the long - standing «differential warming» problem has now been achieved.
Given
inherent uncertainty in assessing new technologies this means that the risks to the environment and human health are much higher than were the case if more certain scientific information were required.
My understanding is that the
major uncertainties in climate projections on time scales of more than a few decades are unlikely to be resolved in the near future.
First, while it is important to understand the
remaining uncertainties in climate science, it is critical to also realize how much we do understand about the climate.
There is such
uncertainty in forecasting point estimates that past 1 - year in the future a real «no change» forecast is the best guess.
