Abstracts
Keynote Lecture: Challenges in Making Projections of Future Climate Change
Projections of climate change made with climate models are uncertain because of unknown future emissions of greenhouse gases, because of errors and uncertainties in models and because of natural variability. This talk will describe techniques for dealing with uncertainties in projections. There will be a particular focus on the findings of Chapter 12 of the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5), Working Group 1 – Long-term Climate Change: Projections, Commitments and Irreversibility. The key findings of the chapter will be highlighted, including a description of how those findings were made.
