Abstract

The authors discuss the overestimation of global warming from 1993 to 2012. According to the authors, the global mean surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.14 ± 0.06 degrees Celsius from 1993 to 2012. They highlight the findings of climate models in Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) which showed higher changes in temperature.
