- Difficulties in monitoring and predicting climate change
- Time Scales
- Short term
- E.g. sudden storm.
- E.g. wetter weather
- Long term
- E.g. tend of winters of increasing rainfall.
- Short term
- Spatial scales
- Local
- E.g. sudden slow moving storm causing local flooding
- Regional
- E.g. an area with increased rainfall due to increased evaporation or changed wind direction.
- Global
- E.g. increased global temperatures
- Local
- Inter-connected systems
- We do not fully understand the natural processes that control the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere or the interconnections that exist between them.
- Interactions between these systems operating over different scales make it much ore difficult to accurately predict how their effects may combine.
- We do not fully understand the natural processes that control the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere or the interconnections that exist between them.
- Natural flutuations
- The global climate has never been constant.
- Milankovic cycles
- the changes may hide or exaggerate the anthropogenic changes.
