An ensemble of regional climate change simulations for Europe

Erik Kjellström introduces a new compilation of regional climate change simulations. His exploration of these results facilitates accounting for the uncertainties in climate scenarios, to which contribute the exactly unknown future climate forcing, the sensitivity of the global and regional climate system to forcing and the inherent natural variability. These contributions are more or less bounded and can be studied by means of ensembles, i.e., co-ordinated complementary model simulations that span the conditions responsible for uncertainty.

Mistra-SWECIA Science seminar: The effects of different energy sources and technological progress on climate change
Fossil energy and technological progress are two important factors that potentially influence climate change. Today, the main source of energy is fossil energy, and its use generates CO2-emissions with global warming as result. Technological progress can however improve the energy efficiency and potentially lead to the implementation of alternative clean energy sources that may partially or fully...
