Fig. 1. Global average projections of temperatures and uncertainty. The top panel shows globally-average temperature (°C) projections from CCSM 3.0, based on A1FI, A2, and B1, along with error bars…

OAK RIDGE TN, USA — Climate scientists recognize that climate modeling projections include a significant level of uncertainty. A team of researchers using computing facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has identified a new method for quantifying this uncertainty.

The new approach suggests that the range of uncertainty in climate projections may be greater than previously assumed. continue reading »
