To examine global differences between potential future climate change and the climate of the mH, we used six models with simulations available for 2100, the pre-industrial conditions and the mH (CCSM3, ECHAM, FGOALS, IPSL, MIROC, and MRI). We used simulations from the PMIP2 working group for the per ...
