Outline zVery brief primer: Global climate change zClimate models zSocioeconomic scenarios zProjections for the Northwest

Carbon dioxide: up 32%

Global average temperature degrees Celsius

The earth is warming -- abruptly

A whole bunch of climate models

Outline zVery brief primer: Global climate change zClimate models zSocioeconomic scenarios zProjections for the Northwest

IPCC scenarios: radiative forcing (CO 2 only) W/m 2

IPCC scenarios: radiative forcing (GHGs + aerosols) W/m 2

21 st century temperature change IPCC (

Temperature change, minus

A range of climate change scenarios Estimated climate change from 20 th c. to 2040s using 8 climate model scenarios.

Conclusions zClimate models are useful for large-scale future climate changes, with proper caveats zProjections for the Northwest: 0.5°C/decade
