Climate change scenarios are usually summed up in terms of expected change by a certain year. Like sea levels will rise by x amount by 2020 and y amount by 2050. Or by parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere.
But because no one really knows what kind of carbon dioxide increases we're facing (that having to do with the CO2 cutting regimen we choose), the whole forecasting effort becomes very ambiguous. That's led some to throw their hands up on achieving greenhouse gas reductions in favor of adaptation planning.
