The simulation
Transcript:
The simulation starts in 1880, when global emissions were still very low. The year of the simulation is shown in the top right-hand corner. Watch the natural fluctuation of the temperature pattern. We see now the temperature change today with respect to the last century. The simulated pattern shows global warming red and yellow regions, but also a slight cooling over the highly industrialised countries due to the increased reflection of solar radiation by the aerosol particles which are now being superimposed as a grey cloud. Let's see now the predicted temperature change for the five decades to come, assuming an unabated increase in emissions. The prediction shows, despite the counteracting impact of aerosols, a pronounced heating of the global atmosphere, slight cooling is still found (only in a small region).
