Source: I. Charron (Ouranos) The information presented in the guidebook are particularly useful to the completion of the third step, an important stepping-stone to the identification of impacts and opportunities under a changing climate. [...] The models differ in a number of factors, globe would require so many simplifications that such as the choice of the numerical scheme, the the solution would be too different from the real degree of simplification, the resolution of their system to be very useful. [...] Different each time step and at each point on the calculation climate simulations are obtained as each climate grid (horizontal and vertical level), the numerical model responds differently to greenhouse gas solution of the equations gives the values of emissions scenarios, and hence will produce a the variables included in the basic equations, different future climate (also see Box on Members). [...] A climate simulation is therefore an imperfect numerical representation of the meteorology that could have occurred over the globe, based on the assumption that the simulation of the natural variability is close to the real one. [...] Furthermore, due to the chaotic nature of the climate system and climate model sensitivity to things such as initial conditions at the start of a simulation, even a “perfect” climate model would not reproduce the succession or timing of observed historical meteorological events, and the best we can expect is that the model reproduces the statistical properties (mean, variance, inter-annual variabi
