Sentences with phrase «current global warming need»

Not exact matches

Apparently the current belief (discussed starting on page 18, and like most such statements accompanied by a caveat that much more research is needed) is that the PDO itself is closely linked to global warming, which is to say we can expect it to spend a lot more time in the positive phase as global warming progresses.

The risks need to be assessed and then there needs to be dialogue among nations to determine which is the greater risk (Global Warming is right or Global Warming is wrong) before jumping to solutions.Cuuerntly the noise generated by the current polarized debate (see many comments above) obscures the evaluation of risks associated with both sides of the issue.

Anyway it is a false comparison to compare old temperatures with new temperatures when asking «wht should we do» you need to compare «our solution» with «their solution» If you are advocating a political strategy you need to accept current proposed strategies will probably still result in the majority of the global warming predicted in the ordinary scenario (if not all of it — a point which I can argue if you like).

I am not at all surprised to find climate skeptics preferring Mike's description over mine, given that mine tries to fit the current understanding of the impact of rising CO2 on temperature to the data while Mike's uses gross overfitting to show that one does not need CO2 to explain recent global warming.

At Chevron, a similar resolution sought to make the oil company's current carbon emissions reduction goals more challenging by syncing the targets with the global emissions limits needed to prevent runaway global warming.

Together they observed a real need for a new project to analyze current global surface temperature records in order to respond to concerns of critics and calm the debate about global warming.

Around global warming then, at the current juncture in history, we can say that there are those who have primary moral responsibility for causing climate catastrophe, a much larger group of those who have secondary ethical responsibility for climate catastrophe, and a still larger group who are bystanders in terms of causality of global warming to date but will need to assume some responsibility in solving the climate crisis.

To blame the current warming on humans, there was a perceived need to «prove» that the current global average temperature is higher than it was at any other time in recent history (the last few thousand years).

This is in line with current international policy and climate science, being BT's share of the global emissions reductions needed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C.

Because, as we have demonstrated in the recent article on «equity» and climate change, there are approximately 50 ppm of CO2 equivalent atmospheric space that remain to be allocated among all nations to give the world approximately a 50 % chance of avoiding a 2oC warming and developing nations that have done little to elevate atmospheric CO2 to current levels need a significant portion of the remaining atmospheric space, high emitting developed nations need to reduce their emissions as fast as possible to levels that represent their fair share of the remaining acceptable global budget.

In the area of climate change, the report highlights the findings of its Emissions Gap Report 2013 — which details the gap between current global emissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming scenarios.

In fact, the think tank wrote in a blog post, the UN Emissions Gap Report found that the space between current global emissions pledges and what's needed to limit warming to 2 degrees centigrade is between 8 and 13 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent.

My reading of the new projections suggests that to play its part in preventing two degrees of global warming, the UK needs to cut greenhouse gases by roughly 25 % from current levels by the end of 2012 — a quarter in four years.

But you don't need to be a global warming denialist, or even a sceptic to be part of the 56 % of us who are unconvinced of science's current ability to successfully model the climate.

There's no denying our current politics around global warming are deeply fucked at a time when we need to be doing more to address carbon emissions at the root of the problem.

Japan needs to immediately and drastically increase its use of renewable energy, from the perspectives of mitigating global warming, ensuring energy security (Japan's current energy self - sufficiency rate is only 4 %), revitalizing regional economies, developing renewable energy - related technologies (a field that is accelerating worldwide), and strengthening Japan's competitiveness in energy - related fields.

To understand why «this current» global warming is human caused and not natural cycle, one needs to get an idea of what the natural cycle is and what are the basic mechanisms that cause climate change in the natural cycle.

This report also highlights that current emission reduction actions are insufficient to limit global warming to the 1.5 degrees needed to avoid the most catastrophic of predicted impacts.

EbA interventions typically combine elements of both climate change mitigation and adaptation to global warming to help address the community's current and future needs.

I guess I need some more clarification on how solar radiation or irradiation would be specific to global warming without current factors such as greenhouse gases.
