Why can Georgia climate projections differ across analyses?

They may use different emissions pathways
Historical rainfall totals determine only one possible future
Projection differences prove observations are irrelevant
All projections use identical future assumptions

Note

Projected climate outcomes depend partly on the emissions pathway used in the analysis.

A projection asks what may happen under specified assumptions, not what must happen under every possible future. Comparing pathways makes those assumptions visible and helps distinguish conditional analysis from certainty.
