Case 2: Global warming IS due to increased CO2 emissions, but we actually DO something to slow it down or reverse it.

The center's director, Charles Komanoff, noted the plan does not specify the rate of increase, and that the $ 5 - per - ton annual increase is actually «a little slow,» in terms of achieving rapid emissions reductions.

On the other hand, weak limitations on fine particle emissions in this century increased mortality and slowed down climate change for now.

[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

If global surface temperatures continue not to increase v quickly over the next decade or two then I think this could seriously slow down action to cut GHG emissions, no matter how well understood the «slow - down» is, and no matter how much additional heat is measured accumulatng in the oceans.

But the sheer rate of increase over just the past 55 years shows how fast global warming could hit us in the future — and the present — and underscores how much we've failed as a planet to slow down carbon emissions.

If on the other hand we have slowing sinks and increased emissions from other potential sources (dying temperate forests and more land use changes) then its not that 2C will be guaranteed any quicker but that more then 2C will be guaranteed.

Terrell Johnson, reporting on a recent NASA publication concluding that deep ocean temperatures have not increased since 2005 (http://www.weather.com/science/environment/news/deep-ocean-hasnt-warmed-nasa-20141007): «While the report's authors say the findings do not question the overall science of climate change, it is the latest in a series of findings that show global warming to have slowed considerably during the 21st century, despite continued rapid growth in human - produced greenhouse gas emissions during the same time.»

Target 3: Cut the Carbon - Intensity of GDP by 17 %: Slower energy demand growth combined with increased non-fossil energy supply curbed Chinese emissions growth in 2012.

«In a scenario of zeroed CO2 and sulfate aerosol emissions, whether the warming induced by specified constant concentrations of non-CO2 greenhouse gases could slow the CO2 decline following zero emissions or even reverse this trend and cause CO2 to increase over time is assessed.

The extreme heat and related climate disturbances mean that delegates to a global climate conference scheduled for Paris in early December will almost certainly be convening as weather - related disasters are unfolding around the world, putting them under greater political pressure to reach an ambitious deal to limit future emissions and slow the temperature increase.

3) That's especially the case in that if you look at the trajectory of Chinese emissions: as solar manufacturing increases to its present output capacity (well in excess, apparently of 50 GW p.a.), emissions increases slow, to the point that carbonactiontracker actually makes the bold statement that:

In fact the historic increase in CO2 emissions has been much slower than the increase in GDP (and slower than the population growth rate, as well, as pointed out above).

They say their findings, which focused on the effect titling had on forest clearing and disturbance in the Peruvian Amazon between 2002 and 2005, suggest that the increasing trend towards decentralized forest governance via granting indigenous groups and other local communities formal legal title to their lands could play a key role in global efforts to slow both tropical forest destruction, which the researchers note is responsible for about the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as the transportation sector, and climate change.»

We can reach that goal through immediate and sustained action to reduce our heat - trapping emissions like adopting technologies that increase energy efficiency, expanding our use of renewable energy, and slowing deforestation (among other solutions).

The article found current CO2 emissions aren't falling rapidly enough to slow global warming largely because most public policy has focused exclusively on developing wind and solar power, which may actually increase emissions.

If the anthropogenic forcing wouldn't keep increasing anymore (because we would manage to suddenly reduce CO2 emission to a level that merely compensates upkeep by sinks, somehow, and the atmospheric concentration would remain constant) then surface temperature would slowly rise until the TOA balance is restored (and then rise some more as slow feedbacks kick in).

The largest increases in farm emissions will probably be in Africa, while the slowest projected growth rates are in Europe, says the study.

Dropping costs of renewable energy, the increasing substitution of natural gas for coal, and a growing focus on energy efficiency in developing economies are slowing emissions.

4) Recently there were a couple of years where global CO2 emissions showed no increase yet the amount of CO2 which ended up in the atmosphere showed a slow steady increase that it always has for the last 50 years.

Mexico's energy reform is set to revitalise an ailing sector and boost the economy, IEA report says Mexico's wide - ranging energy reform, which began in 2013, is expected to reverse the country's declining oil production, increase the share of renewables in the power sector, and slow the growth in carbon emissions, providing a solid foundation for robust economic growth in the coming decades, according to the International Energy Agency.

«Our analysis shows that Americans will pay significantly more for electricity, see slower economic growth and fewer jobs, and have less disposable income, while a slight reduction in carbon emissions will be overwhelmed by global increases.»

The study found that while the carbon dioxide emissions of Chinese exports had either slowed their increase or decreased, the carbon dioxide emissions of exports from less developed countries had only increased.

The company expects energy demand to grow at an average of about 1 % annually over the next three decades — faster than population but much slower than the global economy — with increasing efficiency and a gradual shift toward lower - emission energy sources: Gas increases faster than oil and by more BTUs in total, while coal grows for a while longer but then shrinks back to current levels.

4, The carbon cycle is very slow and yet half of mans emissions immediately go into the oceans to increase acidity (read less alkaline).

The IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment of climate change science concluded that large reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, principally CO2, are needed soon to slow the increase of atmospheric concentrations, and avoid reaching unacceptable levels.However, climate change is happening even faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been melting at rates much faster than predicted, and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid.

The rate of CO2 increase is a different story — that will attenuate with a much slower emissions rise.

The rate of increase has recently slowed to nothing as temperature rise has stalled, the rise in anthropogenic emissions has stalled (as a result of economic recession), and many other changes may have happened..

(Left) The panel shows the two main scenarios (SRES — Special Report on Emissions Scenarios) used in this report: A2 assumes continued increases in emissions throughout this century, and B1 assumes much slower increases in emissions beginning now and significant emissions reductions beginning around 2050, though not due explicitly to climate change Emissions Scenarios) used in this report: A2 assumes continued increases in emissions throughout this century, and B1 assumes much slower increases in emissions beginning now and significant emissions reductions beginning around 2050, though not due explicitly to climate change emissions throughout this century, and B1 assumes much slower increases in emissions beginning now and significant emissions reductions beginning around 2050, though not due explicitly to climate change emissions beginning now and significant emissions reductions beginning around 2050, though not due explicitly to climate change emissions reductions beginning around 2050, though not due explicitly to climate change policies.

The growth rate slowed in 1991, (which Dlugokencky attributes to the fall of the Soviet Union and subsequent drop in industrial pollution), then resumed its strong rise in 2007, likely due to increased tropical wetlands emissions.

There have been NO actionable proposals made to date for slowing global temperature increase by reducing CO2 emissions that make any sense at all.

It would be pretty unlikely that a slowing of the temp trend would be exactly matched by an increase in human emissions such that it would keep the rise so linear.

At the same time, global energy - related CO ₂ emissions increased for the first time in three years, as improvements in global energy efficiency slowed down dramatically to 1.7 %.

Between 1970 and 2012, overall greenhouse gas emissions increased by 91 percent before starting to slow down.

And with no sign of CO2 emissions slowing down, ocean acidification will likely keep increasing in the decades to come.

Atmospheric CO2 is likely to increase to around 640 ppmv *, assuming — There will be no global Kyoto type climate initiatives — Human CO2 emissions increase with human population — Global per capita human fossil fuel use increases by 30 % by 2100 (it increased by 20 % from 1970 to today)-- Population growth is estimated to slow down sharply, with population reaching 10.5 billion by 2100 (* Note that this could be lower by around 60 ppmv if there is a concerted switch to nuclear power instead of coal for new power plants)

This means that all cost - effective means of reducing carbon emissions would need to be deployed in order to slow down the rate of increase of atmospheric concentrations (WBCSD, 2004; Stern, 2006).

In other words, the slowed surface warming isn't a result of a smaller global energy imbalance due to factors like increased cooling from human aerosol emissions.

While rising anthropogenic emissions due to increased economic growth have been established as the driver of accelerated atmospheric CO2 this study shows that both the slow down of natural sinks and the halt to improvements in carbon intensity are contributing more than one third of the increase.

In the process of putting together evidence to demonstrate that CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are definitely not the prime source for observe increase in atmospheric CO2 I came accross a statistic that completely refutes AGW The Kyoto Protocol is not about climate but is strictly a protocol to reduce CO2 emissions for the sole purpose of slowing down the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.

wili this is a very good section — travel slow, save money, increase your productivity, and lower GHG emissions all at the same time.

Trenberth still relates the effect from CO2 based on 100ppmv causing an increase of 0.6 °C but does not subtract the 0.5 °C of natural warming as recovery from the LIA that has nothing to do with CO2 emissions therefore producing an effect six times too high for the effect from increased CO2 Trenberth is not aware that CO2 is not increaseing at an accelerated rate as predicted by Hansen but at a near linear rate averaging 2.037 ppmv / year so by 2100 the concentration will not be as predicted by the IPCC as per scenario A1 but merely reach a level of 573.11 ppmv by 2100, This is only in the case that CO2 increase is maintained but this may not happen as the rate appears to be slowing down with the average rate for the past 5 years being lower than the rate for the past ten years.

Discovery Project Earth Premiere: Friday, August 22nd, 9 PM ET / PT That said, the premier episode of Discovery Project Earth explores an interesting idea to help slow and possibly reverse deforestation, an increasing source of carbon emissions in many parts of the world.

Focusing on electrification of transportation is a great way to slow the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

While carbon emissions have flattened in recent years, the report finds that global energy - related CO2 emissions increase slightly by 2040, but at a slower pace than in last year's projections.

Transportation policies that favor electric vehicles or even self - driving cars, for example, could someday lower emissions; in the energy sector, an increased focus on biofuels or hydrogen production could do the same; and in agriculture, slow release fertilizers could reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
