This is a big departure from the work of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change over the last 20 years, in which scientists have periodically laid out «what if» scenarios for emissions, warming, impacts and responses, but avoided defining how much warming is too much.

What I am saying is that it makes no sense at all to hand - wave at the effects of uncontrolled volcanic eruptions as «absolute proof» that geoengineering schemes «can work», while promoting a gradual 50 - year phaseout of GHG emissions (which is too slow to have any hope of preventing catastrophic outcomes) as «logical» (whatever that means) and ignoring the multiple studies that show we can easily phase out emissions in a fraction of that time with the proven technologies that are already at hand.

For more than a decade, researchers have struggled and failed to balance global carbon budgets, which must balance carbon emissions to the atmosphere from fossil fuels (6.3 Pg per year; numbers here from Skee Houghton at Woods Hole Research Center) and land use change (2.2 Pg; deforestation, agriculture etc.) with carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere (3.2 Pg) and the carbon sinks taking carbon out of the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide dissolving in Ocean surface waters (2.4 Pg).

Because the process it lays out — in which individual countries make emissions commitments and then reconvene every five years to measure progress and rich countries pledge $ 100 billion in aid to poorer countries — taps into a few forces that can be almost as powerful as the threat of punishment.

(Anderson and Bows, 2010) That is, although it is still possible that nations in the next few years will revise upward their ghg emissions reductions commitments to levels that will protect the most vulnerable people and countries, the most recent science has concluded that the world is running out of time to do this.

National green leaders, who had spent the previous year insisting that progress toward capping U.S. carbon emissions would ensure the successful conclusion of a global emissions - reduction agreement in Copenhagen, pretended like they'd never suggested that the United Nation's climate change conference could ever achieve such an outcome and praised Obama for ditching the United Nations and striking out to reach an agreement — any agreement — among major emitters.

This is probably a point where you and I agree: namely that human CO2 emissions have a correlation with atmospheric CO2 levels on a multi-annual basis, even though the relation is not clear on a year - to - year basis, where between 15 % and 90 % of the emitted CO2 «remains» in the atmosphere., with this averaging out to around 50 % over the longer tem.

To keep warming within 2 °C above pre-industrial levels — the goal reiterated in the Paris Agreement — fossil fuel use (and corresponding carbon dioxide emissions) must be phased out almost entirely within 50 years.

Also in 2015, Xiaochun Zhang and I published a paper pointing out that, over the several hundred thousands of years that today's CO2 emissions from fossil - fuel burning will perturb atmospheric content, the radiative forcing from that CO2 will warm the Earth more than 100,000 times more than the direct thermal emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel.

You may wonder why the government finds the need to pursue such action since 1) U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have already topped out and have generally been on the decline for the past 7 - 8 years or so (from technological advances in natural gas extraction and a slow economy more so than from already - enacted government regulations and subsidies); 2) greenhouse gases from the rest of the world (primarily driven by China) have been sky - rocketing over the same period, which lessens any impacts that our emissions reduction have); and 3) even in their totality, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have a negligible influence on local / regional / global climate change (even a immediate and permanent cessation of all our carbon dioxide emissions would likely result in a mitigation of global temperature rise of less than one - quarter of a degree C by the end of the century).

Assuming the IPCC's value for climate sensitivity (i.e. disregarding the recent scientific literature) and completely stopping all carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. between now and the year 2050 and keeping them at zero, will only reduce the amount of global warming by just over a tenth of a degree (out of a total projected rise of 2.619 °C between 2010 and 2100).

Only by peaking GHG emissions in the year 2020 or sooner, and phasing out conventional fossil fuel burning around 2080, can we stay beneath the total of one trillion tons of carbon burned, which represents the threshold of catastrophic climate change, as shown in the following graphs:

For many of the groups working for the equal involvement of women in climate change issues, the deliberations on climate change are too narrowly focused on the politics of emissions reductions, rather than the long - term social and community initiatives that could underpin a real shift in a global consciousness or more effective practices of post-disaster rebuilding.In a statement to the U.N. General Assembly in July of this year, executive director of the Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), June Zeitlin, points out: «Women have always been leaders in community revitalization and natural resource management.
