Tibetan Plateau may Warm Faster in Future than Projected by Climate Models Written by AZoCleantechApr 7 2021 Over the last few decades, the Tibetan Plateau, called 'the roof of the world,' has warmed up more quickly compared to the global average. Projected future warming of the Tibetan Plateau in the CMIP5 ensemble. The thick curves indicate the multi-model ensemble means and the shadings denote the 90% model intervals, derived from the raw model output. The dashed curves indicate the constrained projections based on the attribution result. Blue and red represent a medium (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) greenhouse gas emission scenario, respectively.
