|a Human-caused climate change can affect weather and climate extremes, as well as
mean climate properties. Analysis of observations and climate model results shows that
previously rare (5th percentile) summertime average temperatures are presently occurring with
greatly increased frequency in some regions of the 48 contiguous United States. Broad
agreement between observations and a mean of results based upon 16 global climate models
suggests that this result is more consistent with the consequences of increasing greenhouse gas
concentrations than with the effects of natural climate variability. This conclusion is further
supported by a statistical analysis based on resampling of observations and model output. The
same climate models project that the prevalence of previously extreme summer temperatures
will continue to increase, occurring in well over 50% of summers by mid-century. |
