The shape of things to come: why is climate change so predictable?

Projections of future climate changes are inherently probabilistic, because of the many uncertainties surrounding choices of climate parameters, uncertainties in the underlying physical processes and future emissions, and because the climate system is highly complex. On the other hand, such projecti ...
