Note that this figure illustrates the uncertainties arising from
different greenhouse gas scenarios and climate models, but almost certainly underestimates the uncertainty associated with carbon - cycle feedbacks.»
The researchers used information about these different components to project changes in extreme sea levels by 2100 under
different greenhouse gas scenarios.

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.
Those projections on how the Chilean economy would evolve without any efforts to reduce its
greenhouse gases are expected to help define
different mitigation measures and possible
scenarios.
Scenarios A, B, and C are the same model, but with
different forcings (
different greenhouse gas emissions forecasts).
Contributions of the
different greenhouse gases to total radiative forcing in the RCP4.5
scenario
In recent years, they've also started to consider the impact that
different scenarios will have on attempts to limit emissions of
greenhouse gases.
Various possible future
scenarios are also shown (red, magenta, blue, cyan) which differ due to
different assumptions about how much
greenhouse gasses humanity might emit.
The AMOC is very sensitive to
different greenhouse gas emission
scenarios.
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.
The
different colour lines indicate four future
greenhouse gas scenarios known as «Representative Concentration Pathways» — and two extra
scenarios that specifically represent the 1.5 C and 2C long - term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
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.
The elements are: (1) the amount of temperaturechange since 1850; (2) whether the change is in the range of natural variability or is attributable to humans; (3) the amount of warming that
greenhouse gases (CO2 and equivalents) will warm the Earth in the future; and whether for the most likely
scenarios, there are more losers than winners and if the change is just
different.
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.
