Abstract:

There is substantial evidence that the climate is changing, and that human production of greenhouse gases is a leading driver of the change. We look at different ways to model and assess statistically some of the evidence, including estimation of global temperature. In addition we present climate models, outline how to compare them to data, and discuss the uncertainty in regional predictions and how that relates to decision-making.
