1 IPCC2007: Science for Policymakers

2 Acidification of ocean ADCC

3 Black =observed Simulations Blue=natural forcings due to solar activity and volcanoes ONLY; 19 sim’ns from 5 climate models Red = both natural AND anthropogenic forcings 58 sim’ns from 14 climate models. 5–95% confidence ranges shaded

4 Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation multi-Model average projections for the B1 (top), A1B (middle) and A2 (bottom) SRES scenarios 1980-99 vs 2020-29 vs 2090-99 IPCC Sc/Pkrs 2007

5 % rainfall change, for SRES A1B 2090-99 vs 1980-99 Dec-Jan-Feb June-July-Aug Multiple simulations White=> mixed results Stippled=> sign agreed IPCC ScPkrs 2007

17 Science 2007 (DOI: 10.1126/science.1136843) Sea level rise particularly underpredicted (note measurement change at 1993: tide gauges -> satellite data)

18 IPCC AR4 Impacts TS Increased vulnerability of coastal deltas to flooding
