International Dimensions of Climate Change: Implications for the UK
The following time horizons are considered:
● up to 203015 (medium term), where the uncertainties in the projection of climate change effects
(e.g. changes in temperature and rainfall) are considerably less than those in later decades, and
where greater confidence can be given to the analysis of potential impacts16. On this timescale, the
uncertainty in modelling of global temperature change is lower due to the level of inevitable climate
change; and
