With this «business as usual» projections o 1,5 % / year emissions increase for his scenario A, his models predicted a CO2 atmospheric content of 384 ppmV for 2006 (R. Pielke Jr's graph in # 44).

Using business - as - usual scenarios for reactive nitrogen creation and CO2 emissions, several projections suggest that O3 - related human mortality and crop damage will rise sharply in the next few decades, especially in tropical and subtropical regions where rising temperatures and rising NOx concentrations will interact synergistically to produce more O3.

On the other hand the Atmospheric CO2 content did not rise as predicted by Hansen and even though the world has exceeded the emissions level of scenario A; the concentration has not followed suit and is below the scenario A projection.

The did certainly err in thinking that a scenario of solar and nuclear would be needed to get a reasonably valid projection for the CO2 concentration and also emission history that leads to such concentration.

Tying future human CO2 growth projections to human population growth projections and adding in a 30 % estimated increase in per capita CO2 emissions by 2100, gives you a CO2 level of 640 ppmv (or a bit higher than IPCC case B2).

This is higher than ANY of the IPCC projections and is the level expected by combusting all the remaining fossil fuels on our planet, so it is «virtually certain» (in IPCC terminology) that this level will NOT be reached from human CO2 emissions by 2100.

The projection that was actually closest to the temps was Scenario C though (that was the sensitivity study with a drastic reduction of C02 emissions), so we accomplished by doing nothing what Hansen's 1988 GCM claimed we'd accomplish by huge reductions of CO2 emissions...

A quick glance at the graph you cite shows the projected CO2 levels under a scenario with us limiting Fossil Fuel Emissions — this is the projection IF we take action to limit fossil fuel use.

In the EIA's projections, overall US CO2 emissions stop falling and rebound slightly over the next couple years (Figure 6).

The authors also published their own response with Carbon Brief, pointing out that they «present no evidence in our paper to suggest that future CO2 - induced warming under any emissions scenario will be lower than the projections given in AR5 [the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's fifth assessment report]».

The term «projection», of course, is just another word for a «prediction» when specified forcings are prescribed; e.g. such as different CO2 emission scenarios - see Pielke (2002).

Global climate projections for 2050 and 2100 have, amongst other purposes, been used to inform potential mitigation policies, i.e. to get a sense of the challenge we are facing in terms of CO2 emission reductions.

And sea level rise is below the RCP 2.6 projection, despite none of the governments achieving their CO2 emissions targets and some, like the U.S., ignoring them altogether.

The difference in the projections is due partly to lower emissions scenarios (less CO2, methane and CFCs in particular), and partly to the introduction of aerosols into the scenarios.
