Under certain warming forecasts, more than half of the 103 ski resorts in the Northeast will not be able to maintain a 100-day season by 2039, according to a study to be published next year by Daniel Scott, director of the Interdisciplinary Center on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L). in the waters around Greenland offers an exceptional opportunity for studying these issues at a northern range edge, in a habitat that currently appears marginal but is predicted to become much more important for the species with the substantial ocean warming forecasted for the region (Drinkwater 2005).
Between photographs, Rees and Dasgupta chat about the relationship between facts and prejudice in global warming forecasts, and I wonder if they ever talk of anything other than the end of the world.
Given that many of the same people have argued that we don't know enough to make valid global warming forecasts, it's very difficult to understand how the contrarians can rule out the possibility that warming could be as severe as mainstream forecasts suggest.
Models based on the current distribution of the snake predict suitable habitat in essentially the only region in which the snakes are found in the U.S. Future climate models based on global warming forecasts actually indicate a significant contraction in suitable habitat for Burmese pythons in the U.S. as well as in their native range.
This changing pattern of vegetation cover, increasing stand-fuel and landscape connectivity, and global warming scenarios forecasting an increase in the frequency of droughts in southern Europe [10], [11], may result in an increased risk of fire during the 21st century.
Under an extreme climate change scenario that forecasts warming of about 3.7°C by the end of the century, the model suggested QBO disruptions could occur up to three times every 100 years.
The warming is forecast to continue, and the agreement reached outside Paris promises that efforts to address it — including more conferences in the years ahead — also will continue.

He suggests using the readings near the equator because climate models forecast pronounced warming there.
