As the earth's surface heats (particularly ocean surfaces), the 1990 IPCC models predicted higher concentrations of atmospheric water vapor due to surface water evaporation. ... The IPCC's models predicted several such "positive feedbacks- from increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations, resulting in a predicted increase in global surface temperatures under the "business as usual- scenario of between 1 and 3.5 degrees C (1.8 to 6.3 degrees F) by 2065. ... The IPCC's 1990 model predicted that the growth rate of atmospheric CO2 would be 4%/y during the 1990s under its business as...

Its effects are predicted to be catastrophic: dramatic climate changes, leading to the melting of the polar ice caps and great rises in sea level. ... The warming of 2 to 5 degrees Celsius that scientists predict will occur by the middle of the next century is an increase in the average global temperature. Almost all climate models predict that warming will be greater at higher latitudes (nearer the poles) than at the equator. ... This will be especially true in summer time, when temperatures are predicted to soar to all new highs. ... It is predicted that thermal expansion alone will cause an...
