Near term climate projections and predictions - Abstract
This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate (present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated, 'near-term' change and the projected changes below are for the period 2016-2035 relative to the reference period 1986-2005. Atmos- pheric composition (apart from CO2; see Chapter 12) and air quality projections through to 2100 are also assessed.
