Researchers used three climate models to predict the number of severe storms per decade in a region.
Six severe storms were recorded between 2011 and 2020.
| Climate model | Predicted storms per decade in the 2040s | Predicted storms per decade in the 2080s |
|---|---|---|
| A | 8 | 13 |
| B | 6 | 10 |
| C | 5 | 7 |
Using the data, explain why an increase in the frequency of severe storms during the 2040s should be described as a risk rather than a certainty. Explain why the researchers can be more confident that severe storms will be more frequent during the 2080s.
