Definitions. According to the Committee on Abrupt Climate Change of the National Research Council. There are essentially two definitions of abrupt climate change: In terms of physics, it is a transition of the climate system into a different mode on a time scale that is faster than the responsible forcing.; In terms of impacts, "an abrupt change is one that takes place so rapidly.

ISBN I. National Research Council (U.S.). abrupt climatic change is that of a threshold. A gradual change in external forcing (e.g., the change in insolation due to the Milankovich cycles) or in an internal climatic parameter (e.g., the slow build-up or melting of continental ice) continues until a speciRc threshold value is reached where some qualitative change in climate is triggered File Size: KB.

There are essentially two definitions of abrupt climate change: In terms of physics, it is a transition of the climate system into a different mode on a time scale that is faster than the responsible forcing.; In terms of impacts, "an abrupt change is one that takes place so rapidly and unexpectedly that human or natural systems have difficulty adapting to it".
HELIX and other 2°C+ research seeks to inform the design of effective medium to long-term adaptation efforts (mid-century and beyond). Playing the waiting game will not pay off: because anthropogenic climate change is expected to be the main influence in these scenarios, actions taken today will have important consequences.
