List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains:
- (left) Equilibrium climate sensitivities for the current generation (CMIP6) climate models, and the previous (CMIP5) generation. The assessed range in this Report (AR6) is also shown.
- (right) Climate projections of CMIP5, CMIP6 and AR6 for the very high-emissions scenarios RCP8.5, and SSP5-8.5, respectively.
The thick horizontal lines represent the multi-model average and the thin horizontal lines represent the results of individual models. The boxes represent the model ranges for CMIP5 and CMIP6 and the range assessed in AR6.
