The Scale of the Challenge of Likely Future Climate Change
![](temperature_expected.jpg)
Likely changes in 21st global temperature compared to changes during the last 11,000 years. The anticipated changes in global temperatures (as well as many other climate-relevant variables) during the 21st century will by far exceed changes documented in paleo data both in magnitude and the pace of changes. This will put the planet in a state unknown to civilization and the ecosystems of today. Modified by Plag (2014) from Marcott et al. (2013).
