A novel method to test non-exclusive hypotheses applied to Arctic ice projections from dependent models
Climate models depend on each other which makes meaningful comparisons difficult. Here, the authors apply a novel Bayesian method to test non-exclusive hypotheses to a set of climate models and show that the Arctic is likely to be ice-free at 2 to 2.5 °C of warming, with a sizeable risk even at lowe...

Summary: | Climate models depend on each other which makes meaningful comparisons difficult. Here, the authors apply a novel Bayesian method to test non-exclusive hypotheses to a set of climate models and show that the Arctic is likely to be ice-free at 2 to 2.5 °C of warming, with a sizeable risk even at lower rates. |
