Not exact matches
Thus, at that point
in the future, a lessor volume of
accumulated GHGs in the
atmosphere would mean a global climate that is not as warm as the global climate would have been had we not emitted fewer
GHG emissions now.
Ideas that we should increase aerosol emissions to counteract global warming have been described as a «Faustian bargain» because that would imply an ever increasing amount of emissions
in order to match the
accumulated GHG in the
atmosphere, with ever increasing monetary and health costs.
Second, cumulative emissions are particularly important, because it is the
accumulated stock of
GHGs in the
atmosphere that cause climate change.
GHG's continue to
accumulate heat
in the
atmosphere from the time they're released to the time they get scrubbed out by natural processes.
But whether we can accurately pin point it or not, as long as
GHGs are
accumulating in the
atmosphere it must be waiting for us somewhere
in the future.
