Modeled: Future climate Modeled: Current climate Known Distribution
Climate Data • ‘Current’ climate • CRU-TS • WorldClim • Future climate
Precipitation (mm) Temperature (°C)
ºC / year Temperature change during the 20th century CRU-TS
ºC / year Temperature change during 1985-2002
Future climate: GCMs David Viner, CRU
Future climate: GCMs Different models: HADCM, ECHAM, CCCMA, CSRIO Different scenarios ISO92, IPCC SRES Spatial resolution
Different models, different results CCMa HADCM ECHAM GFDL Change in mean annual temperature (°C) SRES A2
