from their forest study, the researchers estimate that over this century the warming induced

carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and is comparable in magnitude to the
cumulative carbon losses to the atmosphere due to human - driven land use change during the past two centuries.»
It's a big job, but it's one that has to be done anyway, since if the whole world tries to pull itself into prosperity by burning
carbon at the rate the US does, then we run out of coal even at the highest estimates by 2100, and you wind up with no fossil energy and the hellish climate you get
from 5000 gigatonnes
cumulative emission.

carbon budget to keep temperatures below 1.5 degrees, or 7 % of the budget for 2 degrees.
By «committed» or «locked in» warming or sea level in a given year, we refer to the long - term effects of
cumulative anthropogenic
carbon emissions through that year: the sustained temperature increase or SLR that will ensue on a time scale of centuries to millennia in the absence of massive and prolonged future active
carbon removal
from the atmosphere.
If we were certain that the ensemble mean warming represents the real climate systemt we could read out
from figure 1c at which
cumulative carbon emission we could expect to cross this threshold.
Regarding text stating that limiting warming
from anthropogenic CO2
emissions alone to likely less than 2 °C since 1861 - 1880 requires
cumulative emissions to stay below 1000 gigatonnes of
carbon (GtC), Saudi Arabia urged using 1850 for consistency, to which the CLAs responded that some model simulations only begin in 1860, which delegates agreed to reflect in a footnote.
Coloured bars correspond to the
carbon budget
from different studies listed on the left, while values below zero mean that current
cumulative emissions already exceeded the «well below» 1.5 C
carbon budget.
Not counting
carbon emissions from burning the coal, scientists, environmentalists, and concerned citizens along coal transport routes are worried that these
cumulative impacts will harm public health, disrupt their daily lives, and negatively impact the ecological health of waterways along the path
from mine to port.
They could cut
cumulative carbon dioxide
emissions by 34 billion metric tons, more than the total
emissions from fossil fuels in this country over six years.
We consider
cumulative carbon emissions (i)
from pre-industrial times to the time of peak warming and (ii)
from year 2010 to year 2050.

I may have misunderstood something, but looking at the 2 °C curve I couldn't see how the
cumulative emissions fit with the 50 % chance of 2 °C
carbon budget
from the Synthesis report.
It states that to stand a good chance (a probability of 66 percent or more) of limiting warming to less than 2 °C since the mid-19th century will require
cumulative CO2
emissions from all anthropogenic sources to stay under 800 gigatons of
carbon.
«In our mor recent global model simulations the ocean heat - uptake is slower than previously estimated, the ocean uptake of
carbon is weaker, feedbacks
from the land system as temperature rises are stronger,
cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases over the century are higher, and offsetting cooling
from aerosol
emissions is lower.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2013 estimated that
cumulative carbon dioxide
emissions from fossil fuels and cement production —
from 1750 to 2011 — was about 365 billion metric tonnes as
carbon (GtC), with another 180 GtC
from deforestation and agriculture.
Overall, although natural gas is a non-renewable fossil fuel that emits
carbon dioxide, the
cumulative emissions saved by fuel switching over the next decade
from coal to natural gas are likely to prove far cheaper than the removal of
carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere in future decades.
The trillion tonnes idea seems to have come
from a 2009 Nature paper by Myles Allen et al. «Warming caused by
cumulative carbon emissions towards the trillionth tonne».
For example, analyses of remaining
carbon budgets often use ESM - derived numbers
