• Warming 
of 
the 
climate 
system 
is 
unequivocal, 
and 
since 
the 
1950s, 
many 
of 
the 
observed 
changes 
are 
unprecedented 
over 
decades 
to 
millennia 
• Each 
of 
the 
last 
three 
decades 
has 
been 
successively 
warmer 
at 
the 
Earth’s 
surface 
than 
any 
preceding 
decade 
since 
1850 
– Also 
changes 
in 
many 
extreme 
weather 
and 
climate 
events 
have 
been 
observed 
since 
about 
1950, 
for 
example, 
(a) 
an 
increase 
in 
the 
number 
of 
warm 
days 
and 
nights 
on 
the 
global 
scale 
and 
a 
decrease 
in 
the 
number 
of 
cold 
days 
and 
nights, 
(b) 
an 
increase 
in 
the 
frequency 
of 
heat 
waves 
in 
large 
parts 
of 
Europe, 
Asia 
and 
Australia, 
(c) 
an 
increase 
in 
the 
regions 
that 
experience 
heavy 
precipita@on 
events 
• The 
rate 
of 
sea 
level

since 
the 
mid-­‐19th 
century 
has 
been 
larger 
than 
the 
mean 
rate 
during 
the 
previous 
two 
millennia 
– Over 
the 
period 
1901–2010,

of

from 
increased

is 
sFll 
leveled 
out 
by 
increased

Conclusions 
• WGI 
– Extremely 
likely 
that 
human 
influence 
has 
been 
the 
dominant 
cause 
of 
the 
observed 
warming 
since 
the 
mid-­‐20th 
century 
– The 
evidence 
for 
human 
influence 
has 
grown 
since 
AR4 
– For 
warming 
to 
be 
limited, 
limited 
cumula@ve 
CO2 
emissions 
are 
allowed 
(1000 
GtCO2 
from 
2011 
onwards 
for 
likely 
below 
2°C) 
– Limi@ng 
climate 
change 
will 
require 
substan@al 
and 
sustained 
reduc@ons 
of 
greenhouse 
gas 
emissions 
• WGII: 
– In 
recent 
decades, 
changes 
in 
climate 
have 
caused 
impacts 
on 
natural 
and 
human 
systems 
on 
all 
con@nents 
and 
across 
the 
oceans 
– Reducing 
climate 
change 
can 
also 
reduce 
the 
scale 
of 
adapta@on 
that 
might 
be 
required. 
– Under 
all 
assessed 
scenarios 
for 
adapta@on 
and 
mi@ga@on, 
some 
risk 
from 
adverse 
impacts 
remains 
• WGIII: 
– Remaining 
budget 
630-­‐1180 
GtCO2 
for 
2011-­‐2100 
– It 
is 
technically 
and 
economically 
feasible 
to 
keep 
warming 
below 
2°C, 
with 
a 
likely 
probability 
– If 
mi@ga@on 
is

delayed

  • 4. CLIMATE ANALYTICS IPCC AR5: Greater evidence of human influence since IPCC AR4 in 2007 • Extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-­‐20th century. • The evidence for human influence has grown since AR4. 4 WGI: Advances in understanding
  • 5. WGI: Advances in understanding Warming propor@onal to cumula@ve CO2 emissions Global carbon budget • Total amount of carbon emissions to the atmosphere “ever” • Higher emissions now, lower emissions later • Budget “overspending” implies dependence on possibility of ac@vely removing carbon from the atmosphere at large scale later CLIMATE ANALYTICS

WGI: Advances in understanding Warming propor@onal to cumula@ve CO2 emissions also linked to long-­‐term climate-­‐change commitment • Here CO2 emissions follow (extended) RCP pathways un@l 2300 • RCP2.6: global net nega@ve CLIMATE ANALYTICS CO2 emissions (BECCS) • Emissions go to zero in 2300 • Concentra@on declines (very) slowly
  • 7. WGI: Advances in understanding Warming propor@onal to cumula@ve CO2 emissions also linked to long-­‐term climate-­‐change commitment • Temperatures decline even slower Large Fme lags, therefore, again: Budget “overspending” implies dependence on possibility of acFvely removing carbon from the atmosphere at large scale later • While sea-­‐level rise (from thermal expansion) con@nues, except in the lowest scenario CLIMATE ANALYTICS

  • 11. Recent warming ”slowdown” or “hiatus” • Past decade: CLIMATE ANALYTICS warmest on record • Periods of slowdowns and acceleraFons occur regularly • These are related to varia@ons in forcing (e.g. volcanic erup@ons, solar ac@vity) and to internal redistribu@on of heat in ocean, causing natural variaFons of surface warming, and 11 Global Average surface temperature (°C) compared to average over 1850-­‐2012 WGI: Climate Observa@ons

  • 13. CLIMATE ANALYTICS Observa@ons • Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia • Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850 – Also changes in many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since about 1950, for example, (a) an increase in the number of warm days and nights on the global scale and a decrease in the number of cold days and nights, (b) an increase in the frequency of heat waves in large parts of Europe, Asia and Australia, (c) an increase in the regions that experience heavy precipita@on events • The rate of sea level rise since the mid-­‐19th century has been larger than the mean rate during the previous two millennia – Over the period 1901–2010, global mean sea level rose by 0.19 [0.17 to 0.21] m • Most of the energy added to the climate system is stored in the ocean under the form of ocean warming – This accounts for more than 90% of the energy accumulated between 1971 and 2010 13 WGI: Climate Observa@ons
  • 14. WGI: Climate model projec@ons CLIMATE ANALYTICS Framing scenarios • 4 GHG concentraFon pathways provided to WG I in 2009 RCPs: representa@ve concentra@on pathways • RCPs used globally by climate science community • Core of WG I assessment → statements framed with respect to RCPs • For example: Temperature in lowest scenario (RCP2.6 aka RCP3-­‐PD): – Likely staying below 2°C (IPCC: “Unlikely to exceed 2°C”) – Likely to exceed 1.5°C for all RCPs except RCP2.6
  • 15. WGI: Climate model projec@ons Reference concentra@on paths • 4 RCPs (2007) • Used by climate community • At core of WG I assessment • RCP2.6/RCP3-­‐PD: Likely <2°C T by 2100 ~1.6°C CLIMATE ANALYTICS
  • 16. WGI: Climate model projec@ons AR5 confirms that substanFal and sustained emission reducFons CLIMATE ANALYTICS needed • ConFnued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all components of the climate system. • LimiFng climate change will require substanFal and sustained reducFons of greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC AR5 SPM – headline statement)
  • 17. WGI: Climate model projec@ons Temperature projec@ons Global Average surface temperature change (°C) above 1986-­‐2005 • Likely to exceed 1.5°C (and 2°C) for all new IPCC scenarios except the lowest (called RCP2.6) • Warming will con@nue beyond 2100 under all RCP scenarios except RCP2.6 • Warming likely to exceed 4°C by 2100 for highest of new IPCC scenarios (RCP8.5) • If carbon cycle feedbacks include range of warming is higher: 2.5-­‐5.6°C in 2081-­‐2100 above 1986-­‐2005 or 3.1-­‐6.2°C above pre-­‐industrial CLIMATE ANALYTICS 17
  • 18. WGI: Climate model projec@ons CLIMATE ANALYTICS Temperature Global surface temperature change for the end of the 21st century is likely to exceed 1.5 °C relaFve to 1850 to 1900 for all RCP scenarios except RCP2.6. Warming will conFnue beyond 2100 under all RCP scenarios except RCP2.6.
  • 19. WGI: Climate model projec@ons CLIMATE ANALYTICS Water cycle Changes in the global water cycle in response to the warming over the 21st century will not be uniform. The contrast in precipitaFon between wet and dry regions and between wet and dry seasons will increase, although there may be regional excepFons.

  • 21. WGI: Climate model projec@ons CLIMATE ANALYTICS Sea level rise The rate of sea level rise since the mid-­‐19th century has been larger than the mean rate during the previous two millennia. Over the period 1901 to 2010, global mean sea level rose by 0.19 m. Global mean sea level will conFnue to rise during the 21st century – 0.5 to 1m* rise by 2100 projected for 4oC+ warming – 0.3 to 0.6m* rise by 2100 even if warming held below 2oC *Numbers rela@ve to 1986–2005

(2014) CLIMATE ANALYTICS 9/22/14 • Strong evidence from post-­‐IPCC science that several glacier systems in West AntarFca are already “Fpped” • This would lead to an addiFonal global sea-­‐level rise of about 1m with the poten@al of destabilizing the West Antarc@c Ice sheet (about 4m global sea-­‐level rise equivalent), but @mescale much longer for lower levels of long-­‐term warming • New insights from Greenland indicate that also this ice sheet might be much more vulnerable to rapid ice loss than previously thought.

CLIMATE ANALYTICS Conclusions • WGI – Extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-­‐20th century – The evidence for human influence has grown since AR4 – For warming to be limited, limited cumula@ve CO2 emissions are allowed (1000 GtCO2 from 2011 onwards for likely below 2°C) – Limi@ng climate change will require substan@al and sustained reduc@ons of greenhouse gas emissions • WGII: – In recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on all con@nents and across the oceans – Reducing climate change can also reduce the scale of adapta@on that might be required. – Under all assessed scenarios for adapta@on and mi@ga@on, some risk from adverse impacts remains • WGIII: – Remaining budget 630-­‐1180 GtCO2 for 2011-­‐2100 – It is technically and economically feasible to keep warming below 2°C, with a likely probability – If mi@ga@on is considerably delayed keeping warming below 2°C becomes economically unfeasible
