Sources of uncertainty in estimation of climate velocity and their implications for ecological and conservation applications by Carlos Carroll, Colin R. Mahony

“…Abstract The velocity of climate change, which estimates the migration speed necessary to maintain constant climatic conditions, is increasingly used to map climate‐related threats to biodiversity. Using newly developed climate velocity data for North America to 2100 based on an ensemble of current‐generation climate projections, we asked how important differing sources of uncertainty from global climate model projections are, how the magnitude of this uncertainty compares with the internal variability of the climate system, and what aspects of climate velocity are robust to such uncertainty. …”
