Sentences with phrase «cumulative carbon emission per»

Not exact matches

It has been estimated that to have at least a 50 per cent chance of keeping warming below 2 °C throughout the twenty - first century, the cumulative carbon emissions between 2011 and 2050 need to be limited to around 1,100 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (Gt CO2).

«With cumulative fossil fuel emissions of 10,000 gigatonnes of carbon (GtC), Antarctica is projected to become almost ice - free with an average contribution to sea - level rise exceeding 3 meters per century during the first millennium.»

Cumulative carbon dioxide emissions should be calculated on a per capita basis for each country, so that every nation can shoulder a common but differentiated responsibility for climate change... Such a calculation «better reflects the principal of equity for developing countries»...

They estimate the relationship between observed warming and observed cumulative CO2 emissions, calculating the «transient climate response to cumulative emissions» — the amount of warming per teratonne carbon (TtC, or 1000 gigatonnes carbon).

«The proportionality of warming to cumulative emissions depends in part on a cancellation of the saturation of carbon sinks with increasing cumulative emissions (leading to a larger airborne fraction of cumulative emissions for higher emissions) and the logarithmic dependence of radiative forcing on atmospheric CO2 concentration [leading to a smaller increase in radiative forcing per unit increase in atmospheric CO2 at higher CO2 concentrations; Matthews et al. (2009)-RSB-.

Other key variables such as per capita emissions, energy and carbon intensity of the economy (tonnes C per dollar of real GDP), and cumulative emissions are also displayed.
