How much can we trust model-based projections of future anthropogenic climate change?
This review attempts to give an overview of this important but difficult topic by using three …

The “reliability ensemble averaging”(REA) method for calculating average, uncertainty
range, and a measure of reliability of simulated climate changes at the subcontinental scale …

• In the Arctic, extensive land areas show a 20th-century warming trend in air temperature of
as much as 5 C. Over sea ice, there has been slight warming in the 1961–1990 period …

Until recent settlement, Australia and New Zealand were isolated for millions of years, and
their ecosystems have evolved to cope with unique climate and biological circumstances …

Uncertainties in regional climate change simulations for the 21st century by five coupled
atmosphere‐ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs)(two of them including …

The implications of global warming for the performance of six US water resource systems
are evaluated. The six case study sites represent a range of geographic and hydrologic, as …

This paper presents the likely impacts of climate change on runoff, evapotranspiration and
soil moisture in the more populated and important agricultural regions of Australia. The …

The small island states considered in this chapter are located mainly in the tropics and the
subtropics. These island states span the ocean regions of the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic, as …

An analysis is presented of observed temperature and precipitation variability and trends
throughout the twentieth century over 22 land regions of sub-continental scale. Summer …

Adaptation in response to anthropogenic climate change seeks to maintain viability by
maximising benefits and minimising losses. It is necessary because some climatic change is …
