I was wondering for some time now, how much the findings of the work of scientists, be it the IPCC, be it the PIK in Potsdam or what have you, can be taken for granted in order for policy makers to make valuable decisions (e.g. cutting carbon emissions by half by 2050) and if the uncertainties in the models might outweigh certain decisions to reduce carbon emissions so that in the end it might happen that these uncertainties make these decisions obsolete, because they do not suffice to avoid «dangerous climate change»?

If you want to rely on the SRES models that assume absurd CO2 emissions (A2 and A1FI), fine, but don't build a policy on it for the next fifty years.

The impact of policies which involve trade - offs between one GHG and another (such as replacing coal with natural gas, which would reduce CO2 but might increase methane emissions) is especially uncertain, since current models of both gases» life - cycles (and thus their relative GWPs) may need to be revised in the future.

The SkyShares model enables users to relate a target limit for temperature change to a global emissions ceiling; to allocate this emissions budget across countries using different policy rules; and then uses estimated marginal abatement costs to calculate the costs faced by each country of decarbonising to meet its emissions budget, with the costs for each country depending in part on whether and how much carbon trading is allowed.

The study is the first to model demand for oil, gas and thermal coal under the International Energy Agency's Beyond 2 Degrees Scenario introduced last year, aligned with 1.75 C, the mid-point of the Paris Agreement, and compare it with the IEA's New Policies Scenario, aligned with 2.7 C, consistent with emissions policies announced by global govePolicies Scenario, aligned with 2.7 C, consistent with emissions policies announced by global govepolicies announced by global governments.

And of course my favorite non-BRICS, as it has a very USA - like economy in miniature (except a stable, growing economy and well - managed low - corporate - tax haven that uses direct democracy to decide tax issues) with a carbon cycle pricing scheme that could become a model for a made - in - America policy that puts revenues from carbon - emission - pricing in the pockets of the owners of the carbon cycle — the citizens, directly, British Columbia.

The EU has long led the way on carbon emissions, implementing a cap and trade system in 2005, having set ambitious emissions reductions targets, having per person emissions that are less than half of those in the USA, Canada, and Australia, and which in general has been the global model on climate policy.

These studies compare a particular climate policy scenario with a reference scenario corresponding to the model projection of business as usual (BAU)-- that is, a world in which the economy continues on its current course with carbon emissions unchecked.

If you are benchmarking the two policies for a comparable carbon price, total emissions would be higher under my system, and so the total value of emissions rights which are nominally granted to firms would be higher, likely by a factor of 1.5 - 2 based on work I just read by Rivers and Jaccard, although I don't have specific modeling numbers.

Mario has experience in energy and emissions modeling and in climate and energy policy analysis in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the U.S. Previously, he worked at non-profit organizations and think - tanks on initiatives in biodiversity conservation in LAC, iNDC analysis, energy efficiency in buildings, and post-Maria grid restructuring efforts in Puerto Rico.

Dr. Thorning: If policy makers have not seen credible estimates using appropriate economic models the lost GDP and reduced employment they might think that meeting the McCain - Lieberman carbon emission reduction targets is virtually costless.

The trends in CH4 and N2O emissions are largely due to differences in the assumed climate policy along with differences in model assumptions (Fig. 6).

For example, theory and bottom up modelling suggest that some energy efficiency policies can deliver CO2 emission reductions at negative cost, but we need ex ‐ post policy evaluation to establish whether they really do and whether the measures are as effective as predicted by ex ‐ ante assessments.

Even some proponents of policies to cut carbon dioxide emissions have pointed out the fatal flaws, particularly in the way the statistical models calculate damages from CO2 in estimating the SCC.

The four key differences are: 1) unlike the Energy Policy Conservation Act (EPCA), the CAA [Clean Air Act] allows for the crediting of direct emission reductions and indirect fuel economy benefits from improved air conditioners, allowing for greater compliance flexibility and lower costs; 2) EPCA allows Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) credits through model year 2019, whereas the EPA standard requires demonstration of actual use of a low carbon fuel after model year 2015; 3) EPCA allows for the payment of fines in lieu of compliance but the CAA does not; and 4) treatment of intra firm trading of compliance credits between cars and light trucks categories.50

This report reviews a range of modelling scenarios for future GHG emissions, identifies opportunities and recommends lines of action to harmonize energy policy objectives with climate goals that meet the needs for a limited global carbon budget.

According to the models, if policies to reduce emissions as specified in the Kyoto Protocol were implemented, GNP would be 39 per cent higher by 2012.

A study from Regional Economic Models found this policy would achieve a 52 percent reduction in CO2 emissions within 20 years.

Synapse modeled two case studies with AVERT, a tool that uses historical generation and emissions data reported to the EPA by U.S. power plants to estimate the hourly emissions and generation benefits of clean energy policies and programs.

The research would also highlight non-GHG benefits achieved due to the implementation of climate policy, and evaluate the outcome of Canada's emissions if all provinces or the federal government had implemented existing «best - in - Canada» policies (as they came into effect) relative to Canada's emissions target for 2020, using Navius Research's economy and emissions model.

The researchers ran four stringency scenarios on the energy - economic model which simulated how a given climate policy would change a province's economic activity, energy use, and its emissions of carbon dioxide and air pollutants.

The paper, «Modeling California policy impact on greenhouse gas emissions,» has been published in Energy Ppolicy impact on greenhouse gas emissions,» has been published in Energy PolicyPolicy.

Greenblatt's new model, dubbed CALGAPS (California LBNL GHG Analysis of Policies Spreadsheet), indicates that GHG emissions through 2020 could range from 317 to 415 MtCO2e / year, all still below the AB 32 target, «indicating that existing state policies will likely allow California to meet its target,» Policies Spreadsheet), indicates that GHG emissions through 2020 could range from 317 to 415 MtCO2e / year, all still below the AB 32 target, «indicating that existing state policies will likely allow California to meet its target,» policies will likely allow California to meet its target,» he said.
