Abstract: A response from Linda O. Mearns and colleagues to a commentary on their article "The North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program: Overview of Phase I Results" which appeared in a 2012 issue is presented. In relation to boundary conditions, they authors explain the limitation of global climate model simulations. They argue against the idea that their findings overstate the value of the simulations, particularly when applied to multidecadal regional climate prediction.
