They were both wrong at the time the Assessment was published, predicting three times as much warming as was observed, and having absolutely no forecast skill estimating changes in precipitation.

The findings re-affirm what many suspect - that the reduced elevation of these glaciers is not the result of changes in precipitation or melt, but the increased speed at which they now move.

An assessment of the impacts of climatic change in Latin America and the Caribbean supported by reliable data suggests that ??climate changes during the last century have included an increase in the surface medium temperature, particularly in medium and high latitudes, and changes in precipitation quantity and intensity in several countries of the Region (Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina).

Most anthropogenerated climate change is mediated through changes in the two basic variables of temperature and precipitation.

The study simulated changes in agricultural yields as a result of changing precipitation and temperature patterns, finding that crop yields may increase under the higher temperature and precipitation under many climate-change scenarios in this region.
