2 We produce heat-trapping gases THE CLIMATE PROBLEM INCREASING GHG EMISSIONS & CONCENTRATIONS
3 THE CLIMATE PROBLEM We produce heat-trapping gases What can we expect in the future? RAPIDLY INCREASING GLOBAL TEMPERATURE Global mean temperature this decade likely higher than any time in the last millennium. Future temperature projected to increase at an unprecedented rate. Rapid increase implies significant consequences for human society and the natural environment. Quantifying impacts is essential to robust adaptation strategies & sound mitigation policies.

Nearly any downscaling method is better than using climate model output directly The ideal downscaling approach for any given analysis depends on the research question being asked Understanding limitations & biases in methods can help select appropriate method or interpret results
