However, the high end of the IPCC range (or even higher) is often waved about in order to hype the issue and draw «concern» from the general public such that they stand behind efforts to limit carbon dioxide emission.

Ironically these are the effective ways of mitigating the broad range of human pressures on the climate system — sequestering carbon dioxide in the landscape, reducing methane, nitrous oxide, tropospheric ozone, black carbon and CFC emissions.

FAR revealed, for example, that on the most important indicator of uncertainty in climate science — the likely range of warming for a given increase in carbon dioxide emissions — progress was actually retrograde.

Soils are the largest single terrestrial source of carbon dioxide (CO2), but these emissions are highly sensitive to a range of factors associated with climate change and human land use (1).

The reliability of supply provided by our nation's network of storage and distribution facilities has contributed to the increased use of natural gas in many sectors of the U.S. economy, which has led to reductions in air emissions — ranging from criteria pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, to greenhouse gases.

Backed by 20 countries — and predictably, opposed by countries that still rely heavily on coal (Figure 1)-- the BREF includes new emission limits, expressed as wide, ambiguous ranges, for sulfur dioxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), mercury, and particulate matter.

Projected global average temperature rise above pre-industrial levels under a range of future scenarios, «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made (RCP8.5); «mitigation», which assumes moderate emissions (RCP4.5) without negative emissions, «carbon dioxide removal» (CDR), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» (SRM), which is the same as the CDR pathway but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C by 2100.

The committee also separately derived a range of values for damages from climate change, and found that each ton of carbon dioxide emissions will be far worse in 2030 than now: «even if the total amount of annual emissions remains steady, the damages caused by each ton would increase 50 percent to 80 percent.»

To cover this vast amount of ground, it discusses, at a high level, subjects ranging from observations of various parts of the climate system and climate modelling to the limits of economic assessments, the different pathways of greenhouse gas emissions considered, adaptation response strategies and methods of mitigation that include everything from from taxing greenhouse gas emissions to removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.

It applies to the standard range of IPCC scenarios — and as I have written, since 2000, carbon dioxide emissions have grown faster than any IPCC model had projected.

«Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia... Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.»

Thursday morning, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt left those who believe in climate change going through a wide range of emotions after saying he does not believe that carbon dioxide emissions are a primary contributor to global warming.

Since the Industrial Revolution, emissions from human activities of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have driven the earth's climate system dangerously outside of its normal range.

Minus the United States, emissions reductions are in the 15 - 21 % range below 1990 levels: If the 39 industrial nations included in the stats live up to those commitments — and some have unfortunately placed conditions on them, only making them if other nations follow suit, for example — that means their carbon dioxide emissions in 2020 will be somewhere 9.86 - 10.71 billion metric tons.
