Uncertainty for Projections of Future Global-mean
Temperature Change"
Tom Wigley
Presentations by Rapporteurs summarize key issues in a
forward-looking manner for each of the workshop's earlier
sessions. The emphasis will be on what we need to do
differently or better, rather than on simply restating the
current state of the science.
Thursday, August 16
8:30 A.M. Synthesis~ontinued
Workshop leaders summarize the key points from the
previous day's discussion and then open up the meeting for a
discussion of the "next steps" in which science needs to
proceed to make progress on characterizing and reducing

climate change feedback uncertainties.
10:45 A.M. Closed Session
Closed session deliberations of the NRC Panel.
Agenda Postscript:
Because atmospheric chemistry was given only minor attention at this
workshop, the Panel subsequently enlisted Michael Prather as a consultant to
provide additional input.
