Or rather, what if we managed to reduce
CO2 emissions to
necessary levels, what would our focus be on -LSB-...]
For example, if increasing
CO2 levels from 0.04 % to 0.08 % causes a warming of 1 °C, it would be
necessary to increase the
CO2 levels from 0.08 % to 0.16 % to increase temperature by another 1 °C.
Some models include these terms, but you need to get to really high
CO2 levels before it's
necessary to start adjusting the mean molecular weight of the atmosphere, or any of the relevant constants.]
In the paper Crucifix et al., 2005, sensitivity to the entrance in glaciation is discussed in the framework of the Ruddiman hypothesis showing that low
CO2 levels are
necessary to enter into glaciation now.
The 350 campaign is intent on sparking international movement platformed upon the target of reducing atmospheric
CO2 levels to 350 parts per million, or the
level scientists deem
necessary to maintain human life on the planet as we know it.
Preventing starvation and epidemic disease doesn't take much
CO2, and those two things are * all * that's
necessary to bring lifespan up to USA
levels (though reaching modern world
levels takes a bit more — the USA is 45th in life expectancy.)
Otherwise,
CO2 levels would have long ago dropped to below the
level necessary to support life, and we wouldn't be here arguing the toss,
Besides I want to the
CO2 level to be at least 500 PPM and believe subsidies should be used if
necessary to ensure sufficient fossil fuel is burned Without more
CO2 my muskmelons won't grow as big as I want.
Even if natural gas combustion creates approaching 50 percent less
CO2 equivalent per unit of energy produced, an amount which is well beyond best case on ghg emission reductions, it will not create the much greater emissions reductions
necessary in the next 30 years to give any hope of limiting warming from exceeding
levels that will cause catastrophic impacts.
Although there is considerable scientific evidence that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees C is
necessary to prevent very dangerous warming, a fact implicit in the recent Paris Agreement in which nations agreed to work to keep warming as close as possible from exceeding 1.5 degrees C additional warming, if the international community seeks to limit warming to 2 degrees C it must assure that global emissions do not exceed the number of tons of
CO2 emissions that will raise atmospheric concentrations to
levels that will cause warming of 2 degrees C.
Hence, avoiding dangerous
levels of
CO2 - induced warming is a
necessary, albeit not always sufficient, condition for avoiding potentially dangerous anthropogenic interference in the climate system.
Reevaluate tax
levels every 4 years, and increase if
necessary to hit scientifically determined targets for
CO2 production.
(IEA, 2012) Even if natural gas combustion creates a 50 percent less
CO2 per unit of energy produced, an amount which is beyond best case on ghg emission reductions, it will not produce the greater emissions reductions
necessary in the next 30 years
necessary to give any hope of restricting warming to potentially catastrophic
levels.
Thus
CO2 is not a hormone disruptor, in many cases it is the limiting factor, even at low fertilizer availability, and it simply is the
necessary building block for photosynthesis which, at current
levels, is in short supply.
One of the parameters is high stand or low stand conditions based on sea
level transgression / regression curves which is related to long term climate, but I am not aware of any oil companies that use anything remotely resembling what I understand to be a climate model with forcings, and certainly not one driven by something like
CO2, solar or anyhting else, simply because you can not know the
necessary parameters over the millions of years of geological time that you are interested in modelling.
In wealthy countries like the US, the poor will be the hardest hit by $ 10 or even $ 20 gas prices that would be
necessary to rolling
CO2 production back to 1990
levels.
But there's an obvious argument that, having gone this far, it would make sense to keep going after 2050 with the aim of restoring the pre-industrial
level (278 ppm) by a combination of massive reforestation, improvements in land use and, if
necessary, technological measures to remove
CO2 from the atmosphere (there are some ideas about already and this would be the last cab off the rank, giving decades to turn them into workable options).
n.)
CO2 is at its base
levels absolutely
necessary, and has benefits, that furnish half - truths with just enough substance for propaganda.
The law calls for only a 4 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions by 2020 compared to 1990
levels, not the 40 percent reduction environmentalists and climatologists say is
necessary.
