The climate change commitment.
Even if atmospheric composition were fixed today, global-mean temperature and sea level rise would continue due to oceanic thermal inertia. These constant-composition (CC) commitments and their uncertainties are quantified. Constant-emissions (CE) commitments are also considered. The CC warming commitment could exceed 1 degrees C. The CE warming commitment is 2 degrees to 6 degrees C by the yea...

متن کاملENSO and cholera: a nonstationary link related to climate change?
We present here quantitative evidence for an increased role of interannual climate variability on the temporal dynamics of an infectious disease. The evidence is based on time-series analyses of the relationship between El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and cholera prevalence in Bangladesh (formerly Bengal) during two different time periods. A strong and consistent signature of ENSO is appare...
متن کاملSimulated ENSO Sensitivity to Climate
This chapter examines the sensitivity of tropical Pacific interannual variability to changes in the climatological background state. Chapter 5 showed that although a wide variety of climate perturbations can affect the equatorial Pacific, the equatorial structure of the response tends to be similar in each case. Due to strong coupled feedbacks like those active in ENSO, the Pacific climatology ...
متن کاملVulnerability and capacity: explaining local commitment to climate-change policy
We examine the reasons why a US locality would voluntarily commit to the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) campaign. Using geographic information systems analytic techniques, we map and measure a locality's vulnerability to climate-change impacts at the county level of spatial precision. We analyze multiple measures of climate-change vulnerability, including expected temperature change, extre...
