This page is being rebuilt around traceable scenarios, not point estimates

The previous version of this comparison used unsupported point estimates. It is being rebuilt so every figure traces to a stated scenario and its assumptions, rather than a single unexplained number.

Scenario figures under independent review

The previous interactive dials mixed estimates from different years, definitions and modelling assumptions. Those numbers have been withdrawn until every scenario includes a direct primary source, baseline, range, method, uncertainty and publication date.

Publication standard

  • Separate observed data from forecasts and illustrative scenarios.
  • Show the baseline, time horizon and range—not only a central estimate.
  • Link directly to the model or primary publication.
  • State material assumptions and competing credible estimates.
  • Pass an independent accuracy review before publication.
