In both cases, temperatures are expected to rise, although the difference between lower and higher emissions pathways is substantial.

Just as important are our future emissions pathways — and those are a matter of social choice.

How much climate change we will experience in the future depends largely on the global emissions pathway, as demonstrated in this chapter.

The study is on various emissions pathways and is quite interesting.

The image below shows potential emissions pathways and their long - term impacts in temperature.

Overall, our research shows that the Midwest region faces significant climate risks to its agricultural sector if we stay on our current greenhouse gas emissions pathway, but that these risks vary markedly by state, county, and even specific crop.

This is, rather, the conservative prediction of many climate scientists using cutting - edge climate models to predict different emissions pathways based on our action or inaction in reducing fossil fuel emissions.

To understand emissions reductions necessary to have a good chance of limiting warming to 2 °C, the climate community has focused largely on emissions pathways — that is, when greenhouse gas emissions peak and the rate at which they must decline (e.g. peak sooner and then reduce less steeply versus peak later and then reduce more steeply).

To determine the potential role of alternative emissions pathways and longer timeframes, we then compared these results with those for A2 (high) and B1 (low) scenarios, and extended assessment timeframes to 2090 (Figure 4; Figures S7, S8, S9; Tables S19, S20, S21).

As the «2 °C threshold» came to define the global climate effort, it became common to characterize any given emissions pathway or greenhouse gas budget by its probability of causing a temperature increase of 2 °C or more.

I took a look at the paper and I notice that for diagnosed emission pathway (DEP) 2.6 which includes moderate capture of carbon dioxide, the additional concentration from permafrost at the end of the twenty - third century (44 ppm) is about the same as at the end of the twenty - first century (39 ppm) so it looks as though it is quite possible to keep up with this effect.

What would such levels of climate change imply in terms of greenhouse gas stabilisation concentrations and emission pathways required to achieve such levels?

In the figure, each line represents a central estimate of global average temperature rise for a specific emissions pathway (relative to the 1901 - 1960 average).
