Global Winter Temperature Scenario: 2100

Abstract

A simulation of projected changes in December to February mean temperatures from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2080 to 2100 is shown here. There would be typically more warming over land than over oceans, at higher latitudes than at lower latitudes, and in winter compared to summer. The Arctic would experience the greatest warming followed by other areas in northern Canada and central and northern Asia. Temperatures would generally increase as a consequence of the projected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.
