Text description of figure
This figure shows the global temperature changes from 1990 to 2100 for six AOGCMs, to which the enveloped extreme limits of global temperature projections from the 35 SRES results from IPCC have been added. Some of the models just exceed the IPCC upper extreme of the envelope prior to about 2030 (largely because decreases in methane emissions in the late 1990s have been built into the latest IPCC SRES scenarios).
