Rate of percentage annual growth for carbon dioxide has certainly increased since the beginning of the 21st century, but this should result in a significant change in the rate of warming any more quickly than the differences between

then on — given the cummulative effects of accumulated carbon dioxide.

If Dr. Hansen never imagined
Scenario A as being a real possibility for the next 20 years, I guess indicated by his description «
Scenario A, since it is exponential, must eventually be on the high side of reality in view of finite resource constraints and environmental concerns, even though the growth of
emissions in
Scenario A (~ 1.5 % yr - 1) is less than the rate typical of the past century (~ 4 % yr - 1)»

When the paper described
scenario A as continuing the present

To counter this business - as - usual
scenario, the Stern Review proposes a climate stabilization regime in which greenhouse gas
emissions would peak by 2015 and
then drop 1 percent per year after that, so as to stabilize at a 550 ppm CO2e (with a significant chance that the global average temperature increase would thereby be kept down to 3 °C).
Why not construct some

The models used the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's «A1B» mid-range projected
