NCAR's Climate & Global Dynamics Division (ESSL) has released an updated CCSM3 animation that models global warming up to the year 2100 in each of the four IPCC Fourth Assessment Report scenarios for CO2 levels. Entitled, "Surface temperature change relative to 1879 - 1899 baseline," the model shows the temporary cooling effects during the 5 major volcanic eruptions of this time period, and then the model's estimates of warming under the different scenarios.  The full IPCC report can be found in the related links, right.
