- Description
- The global climate models agree fairly well with each other for the next 20 years or so, with a predicted additional increase of 0.3-0.7oC in global mean surface air temperature, giving a total warming of 1.0-1.5oC (somewhat higher over land) (IPCC, 2013). Globally, rainfall is expected to increase, but some regions (such as most of the Mediterranean) will get drier and confidence in detailed rainfall predictions in most parts of the world is low. In the longer term, predictions vary greatly even for temperatures, depending on the choice of climate model and the assumptions made about future greenhouse gas emissions and carbon-cycle feedbacks. Temperatures over land are expected to increase by 3-6oC by 2100, compared with 2000, but the range of plausible values is considerably wider.
