Atlas of Climate Change [elektronisk resurs] Responsibility and Obligation of Human Society / by Wenjie Dong, Jianbin Huang, Yan Guo, Fumin Ren.

• Data and Methods -- Climate Change Historical Simulations and Projections -- Comparisons among Multi-model Ensemble Methods -- Responsibility for Historical Climate Change Induced from Developed and Developing World Anthropogenic Carbon Emissions -- Responsibility for Historical Climate Change Induced from Developed and Developing World Anthropogenic Sulfur Emissions -- Transferred Responsibility for Historical Climate Change Induced from Carbon Trade between Developed and Developing World.

• This atlas and reference resource assembles the latest research findings on the responsibility and obligation of human society for historical climate change. It clearly and quantitatively estimates to what extent the developed and developing world are responsible for historical climate change with regard to anthropogenic carbon and sulfur emissions as well as global carbon trade, and so provides a potential tool to address the controversial issue of carbon emission reduction in international climate negotiations. Since the quantitative attribution of historical climate change is calculated based on CMIP5 models, the fidelity of these models in representing the observed climate change is also evaluated. In addition to evaluation, future climate change based on CMIP5 models is also shown both on global and regional scales (especially for China and its surrounding areas ) in terms of surface air temperature, precipitation, sea surface temperature, atmospheric circulations and Arctic Sea ice. The atlas also makes various comparisons among different multi-model ensemble methods in order to obtain the most reliable estimation.
