Comments on “A Simple, Coherent Framework for Partitioning Uncertainty in Climate Predictions”

In a recent article Yip et al. present a simple, yet powerful, framework for partitioning uncertainty in multimodel climate ensembles. Simplicity is achieved by extracting from climate prediction ensembles a single subset with a convenient structure. Here, the analysis of predictions of twenty-first-century global temperature by Yip et al. is extended by analyzing all possible subsets. Findings can depend strongly on the particular dataset chosen, so relying on a single dataset may be misleading.
