Projections of Future Anthropogenic Climate Change

  • Chapter
Book cover Assessment of Climate Change for the Baltic Sea Basin

Part of the book series: Regional Climate Studies ((REGCLIMATE))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on summarising projections of future anthropogenic climate change for the Baltic Sea Basin. This includes the science of climate change and how future projections are made, taking into account anthropogenic influence on greenhouse gases (GHG). Looking forward to-ward future climates requires using state-of-the-art modelling tools to represent climate processes.
