9 Climate Modeling and Forecasts for the Future Climate Modeling Summary Forecasts Issues ©2001, Perry Samson, University of Michigan Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules. At the place where the two object touch, the faster-moving molecules of the warmer object collide with the slower moving molecules of the cooler object. As they collide, the faster molecules give up some of their energy the slower molecules. Conduction

32 Climate Modeling and Forecasts for the Future Climate Modeling Summary Forecasts Issues ©2001, Perry Samson, University of Michigan Emission Scenarios A1.A future world of very rapid economic growth, global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, and the rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies. Major underlying themes are convergence among regions, capacity building and increased cultural and social interactions, with a substantial reduction in regional differences in per capita income. A2.A very heterogeneous world. The underlying theme is self reliance and preservation of local identities. Fertility patterns across regions converge very slowly, which results in continuously increasing population. Economic development is primarily regionally oriented and per capita economic growth and technological change more fragmented and slower than other storylines.

33 Climate Modeling and Forecasts for the Future Climate Modeling Summary Forecasts Issues ©2001, Perry Samson, University of Michigan Emission Scenarios B1.Describes a convergent world with the same global population, that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in A1, but with rapid change in economic structures toward a service and information economy, with reductions in material intensity and the introduction of clean and resource efficient technologies. B2.Describes a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions to economic, social and environmental sustainability. It is a world with continuously increasing global population, at a rate lower than A2, intermediate levels of economic development, and less rapid and more diverse technological change than in the A1 and B1 storylines. While the scenario is also oriented towards environmental protection and social equity, it focuses on local and regional levels.
