Global rates of temperature change in high and
declining greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
Not exact matches
«In a
scenario of zeroed CO2 and sulfate aerosol
emissions, whether the warming induced by specified constant concentrations of non-CO2
greenhouse gases could slow the CO2
decline following zero
emissions or even reverse this trend and cause CO2 to increase over time is assessed.
The area of near - surface permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere is projected to
decline by 20 % relative to today's area by 2040, and could be reduced by as much as two - thirds by 2080 under a
scenario of high
greenhouse gas emissions.
The best
scenario from here on out is that 2014 was the year — in all of human history — that humans emitted the most
greenhouse gases and that annual
emissions will now start to
decline, with the sharpest decreases from China, the United States, and Europe.
The IPCC report defines four timeline
scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs) plotting amounts of carbon burned and resulting global average temperatures, depending on when global
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) peak and then
decline.
