This problem can be qualitatively analysed by considering the continuity equation for ice vol-
ume, which may be expressed as

of greenhouse-gas-
induced climate change becomes stronger. The sensitivity of the findings to the evolution of
greenhouse gas emissions was also studied, by comparing forecasts derived for the SRES B1,
A1B and A2 scenarios. However, due to the relatively short time frame considered, this
source of uncertainty proved to be smaller than the uncertainties arising from natural climate
variability

) Finland the spring flood peaks are
currently by far the largest floods and as they mostly decreased
with climate change the magnitude of the annual 2 and 100-year
floods decreased. In the north (Fig. 8a) some scenarios still pro-
duced large spring floods in 2070–2099. In southern Finland (in
the coastal rivers Fig. 8e and in the lake area Fig. 8d) large floods
occurred not only in spring but also

on Climate Change best estimates for the global mean temperature
change by the end of the 21st century vary from 1.8 qC to 4.0 qC between the SRES scenarios
with the smallest (B1) and the largest (A1FI) greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC 2007). For
shorter time horizons, however, the scenario uncertainty is much smaller. On one hand, there
is inertia in the socio-economical system
