Not exact matches

Another graphic, circulated on Twitter by German broadcaster Deutsch Welle, shows how different cumulative, historic emissions look from the current scenario: China three years ago surpassed the United States as the global greenhouse gas emissions leader.

In their newly published study, the U-M researchers examined cost, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions for different types of 60 - watt - equivalent bulbs and created a computer model to generate multiple replacement scenarios, which were then analyzed.

Scenarios A, B, and C are the same model, but with different forcings (different greenhouse gas emissions forecasts).

In recent years, they've also started to consider the impact that different scenarios will have on attempts to limit emissions of greenhouse gases.

Lam and team used climate models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to examine the economic impacts of climate change on fish stocks and fisheries revenues under two different emissions scenarios: a high - emission scenario, in which the rates at which greenhouse gases are pumped into the Earth's atmosphere continue to rise unchecked, and a low - emission scenario under which ocean warming is kept below two degrees Celsius.

Wehner and his co-authors of Chapter 2 of the NCA, which looked at the physical basis for our understanding of climate change, considered seven different future scenarios (including four new ones), ranging from the «do nothing» option to a geoengineering option, which would require an as - yet uninvented technology to take CO2 out of the atmosphere on a global scale, to achieve net negative emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050.

«and we basically don't know whether or not different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions will be (or not be) the primary driver on timescales of a century or less.»

The red and magenta lines show the forcing from anthropogenic greenhouse gases for the two different emission scenarios.

Global greenhouse gas emissions under different scenarios and the emissions gap in 2030 (Source: The UNEP)

Climate change was assessed by means of two Long Ashton Research Station - Weather Generator (LARS - WG) weather generators and all outputs from the available general circulation models in the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse - gas Induced Climate Change - SCENario GENerator (MAGICC - SCENGEN) software, in combination with different emission scenarios at the regional scale, while the Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) model has been used for projections at the local scale.

A report by the Sussex Energy Group and Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research entitled China's Energy Transition: Pathways for Low Carbon Development set out four different scenarios for low - carbon development in China in an attempt to demonstrate how China's economic development can be decoupled from carbon emissions growth — allowing its economy to expand by some 8 to 13 times while presumably stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

Science writer Greg Laden wrote that the Duke study will receive «criticism from climate scientists» because it includes language that suggests it is assessing the likelihood of different warming scenarios by predicting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that will occur in the future, which it can't possibly know.
