  TORONTO -- Researchers studying climate change at McGill University say they have projected a more precise window of when the Earth will likely cross “dangerous warming levels,” with their new threshold set at 2027-2042 – 25 years earlier than previous modelling. The study, published in “Climate Dynamics,” uses historical data that reduces prediction uncertainties by about 50 per cent compared with the current modelling being used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). What are climate models? Climate models are mathematical simulations that calculate projec...

 E-Mail The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 - a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's estimate of between now and 2052. In a study published in Climate Dynamics, researchers from McGill University introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earth's temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties compared to previous approaches. Scientists have been making projections of future global warming using climate models for decades. These models play an important role in unde...

12-21-2020 By Earth.com staff writer Scientists at McGill University have determined that the threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042. This is a much narrower window than the previous IPCC estimate of between 2020 and 2052.  Using a new method for projecting Earth’s temperature, the researchers have reduced some of the uncertainties surrounding future warming.  The climate models that are used to project future temperatures play an important role in understanding the Earth’s climate. These models are used to in...
