Figure 11.16: Response of
the Greenland Ice Sheet to three climatic warming scenarios during the third millennium
expressed in equivalent changes of global sea level. The curve labels refer to
the mean annual temperature rise over Greenland by 3000 AD as predicted by a two-dimensional
climate and ocean model forced by greenhouse gas concentration rises until 2130
AD and kept constant after that. (From Huybrechts and De Wolde, 1999.) Note that
projected temperatures over Greenland are generally greater than globally averaged
temperatures (by a factor of 1.2 to 3.1 for the range of AOGCMs used in this chapter).
