Halving of the uncertainty in projected warming over the past decade
Nathan P. Gillett
Abstract
Uncertainties in projected 21st century warming were very large a decade ago, increasing the costs of climate change adaptation, especially those associated with long-lived infrastructure. Here we show that through progress in climate policy and climate science, these uncertainties have decreased dramatically over the past decade.
