Sentences with phrase «co2 mitigation efforts»

Judith, «Somebody needs to research the sociology and psychology of people that insist that anyone that does not accept AGW as a rationale for massive CO2 mitigation efforts is a «denier.»»

I'm not sure how either figure would have a bearing on the desirability, or affordability, of increased CO2 mitigation efforts though.

Not exact matches

At the same time, the global climate change mitigation effort will reduce the CO2 emissions per unit of electricity and steel inputs, further limiting life - cycle greenhouse gas emissions.

The joint assistance project Capacity building for CO2 mitigation from international aviation aims at providing assistance to a selected group of 14 States in Africa and the Caribbean to support their efforts in developing and implementing their States» Action Plans on CO2 emissions reduction from international aviation, to establish aviation environmental systems for emissions monitoring at the State level and to identify, evaluate and implement mitigation measures in selected States.

The scenarios include: «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made («RCP8.5»); «mitigation», which assumes an intermediate level of emissions («RCP4.5») without negative emissions; «carbon dioxide removal» («CDR»), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» («SRM»), which is the same as the CDR pathway, but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Projected global average temperature rise above pre-industrial levels under a range of future scenarios, «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made (RCP8.5); «mitigation», which assumes moderate emissions (RCP4.5) without negative emissions, «carbon dioxide removal» (CDR), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» (SRM), which is the same as the CDR pathway but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C by 2100.

Now many people seem to assume that invariably an effort at CH4 and BC mitigation would come at the expense of CO2 mitigation.

Ultimately, from the perspective of policy makers and the general public, the impacts of climate change and the required mitigation and adaptation efforts are largely the same in a world of 2 or 4 C per doubling of CO2 concentrations where carbon dioxide emissions are rising quickly.

A canonical paradigm of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH can more effectively be used to formulate policies to conserve vulnerable calcifying organisms by acknowledging the various anthropogenic drivers of change in pH, identifying regional and even local actions that may help vulnerable coastal organisms adapt to the impacts of OA by anthropogenic CO2 (Kelly et al. 2011) in parallel to global mitigation efforts.

That is, there is still a fair chance that we can «hold the 2 °C line», if strong mitigation of greenhouse gases is combined with the following three actions: (i) a slow, rather than instant, elimination of aerosol cooling, (ii) a directed effort to first remove warming aerosols like black carbon, and (iii) a concerted and sustained programme, over this century, to draw - down excessive CO2 (geo - and bio-engineering) and simultaneously reduce non-CO2 forcings, such that the final equilibrium temperature rise will be lower than would otherwise be expected on the basis of current concentrations.
