This article is taken in part from an online slide presentation prepared by Jake Weltzin , from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology . N ow, we change gears to look at model predictions of future climates. These models are generally accurate, and all tend to agree on the sign of the expected change.
Some models predict substantial global-scale warming, whereas others predict less warming.
Some might predict a particular region to warm, whereas another might predict that that same region may cool. However, they all predict warmer tropospheres over the globe during the next century. In short, this difference map shows where and how temperature regimes are predicted to differ relative to mean conditions over the last 30 years. Note also that continents will warm more than oceans.
