Abstract
The main equilibrium changes in climate, due to doubling CO2, deduced from models are given below: Near the Earth's surface the global average warming lies between 1.5°C and 4.5°C, with a "best guess' of 2.5°C. There is much greater effect in high latitudes, than in the tropics. At the same time, the stratosphere cools. Global average precipitation (and evporation) increases by 3% to 15%. The area of sea-ice and seasonal snow cover diminish. -J.F.Austin
