PCS subcategories are based on distinct choices in methodology, climate phenomena, and scale. Blocked (white) states are not taken into account, while the specified conditional states (orange) and the variables (blue) determine the impact (green) of the PCS storyline. a) Extreme event storylines focus on local/regional events and require dynamical conditions and regional warming to be specified to determine future hazards. b) Climatological trend storylines take on large‐scale processes where global warming and remote drivers are specified to investigate regional warming and dynamical conditions. c) Equilibrium climate sensitivity storylines focus on global warming effects and Earth's sensitivity to a doubling in CO₂ and therefore specify climate forcings (past and future) and feedback processes.
