14. Global Climate Change Global Warming
Currently within 1ºC of highest Temp. in 125,000 years
forced versus unforced fluctuations
Radiatively active gases;
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
H2O vapor

15. Attribution Anthro+ Nat forcing
Asks whether observed changes are consistent with
expected responses to forcings
inconsistent with alternative explanations
Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (>90% certainty) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations
Anthro+ Nat forcing
evaluated whether observed changes are quantitatively consistent with the expected response to external forcings and inconsistent with alternative physically plausible explanations.
Could also make the point about needing to know the response to RF here.
