We see that we can make a lot of assumptions about the development of our world which lead to different outcomes for a future climate. However, differences are not only in the estimations on emissions and other conditions in our world. There are, meanwhile, 15 different global climate models developed in different institutes, which use different mathematical equations and couplings in order to describe the climate system. If you click on the button GCM fit (arrow in yellow) you can compare for a few models what the results would be.
Task 10: Give in 5-6 sentences a final statement: What can we learn from climate models? Why do they show different results? Do you think we should wait until models show better agreement before we change our behaviour?
