This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate (present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated, ?near-term? change and the projected changes below are for the period 2016?2035 relative to the reference period 1986?2005. Atmospheric composition (apart from CO2, see Chapter 12) and air quality projections through to 2100 are also assessed.
