Dangerous human-made interference with climate: a GISS modelE study
International audience We investigate the issue of "dangerous humanmade interference with climate" using simulations with GISS modelE driven by measured or estimated forcings for 1880-2003 and extended to 2100 for IPCC greenhouse gas scenarios as well as the "alternative" scenari...
