TL;DR: It is shown that climate change is likely to exacerbate regional and global water scarcity considerably and GHM uncertainty is particularly dominant in many regions affected by declining water resources, suggesting a high potential for improved water resource projections through hydrological model development.

TL;DR: This work compares ensembles of water supply and demand projections driven by ensemble output from five global climate models and suggests surplus water supply could in principle support a net increase in irrigation, although substantial investments in irrigation infrastructure would be required.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the winter atmospheric circulation change and cold extremes are also associated with winter sea ice reduction through an apparently distinct mechanism from those related to autumn sea ice loss, which in part results from fewer cyclones owing to a weakened gradient in sea surface temperature and lower baroclinicity over sparse sea ice.

TL;DR: In this article, a bias corrected daily climate projections from five global circulation models (GCMs) under the RCP8.5 emission scenarios were fed into a calibrated Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrologic model to project future hydrological changes in China.

TL;DR: The Northern Hemisphere has seen record declines in the summer sea-ice and snow cover at high latitudes, as well as a recent increase in extreme summer events at mid latitudes as mentioned in this paper.
