As can be seen your graph, our climate models make a wide range of predictions (perhaps 0.5 - 5 degC, a 10-fold uncertainty) about how much «committed warming» will occur in the future under any stabilization scenario, so we don't seem to have a decent understanding of these processes.

Other forcings, including the growth and decay of massive Northern Hemisphere continental ice sheets, changes in atmospheric dust, and changes in the ocean circulation, are not likely to have the same kind of effect in a future warming scenario as they did at glacial times.

«However,» write the authors, «some scenarios in our set bring warming back below 1.5 Celsius by 2100: a first scenario does so with a probability of about 50 percent, and a second scenario with a «likely» chance (better than 66 percent).»

Thus now, at the end of 2008, it assumes a volcanic forcing that does not exist, therefore we should be warmer under Scenario B now than implied by RC's diagram.

It just does not worry me as much as the more likely scenario that the Earth is becoming a more dangerous, more populated, warmer place.

In any case, even in a realistic best case scenario, we're not doing enough to decarbonize the economy if we want to avoid dangerous and potentially catastrophic global warming.

To say this another way, even if worst case warming scenarios with regards to feedbacks do emerge, all it does, from the human standpoint, is make rapid responses to climate change all the more urgent and necessary.
