To consider an even more extreme scenario, what if BP stopped (or was forced to stop) doing business in the U.S.?

The most extreme scenario postulated in TAR (A1F1) already has a big reduction in sulphate aerosol forcing, and so the temperature changes by 2100 are almost purely a function of the GHG forcing.

He was forced to correct that statement after it was pointed out that LAX is at least 108 feet above sea level, and therefore safe from rising seas even under the most extreme scenario.

Using all 19 models, the average state in the last decade of the twenty - first century is projected under the SRES A1B forcing scenario to be conditions currently considered severe drought (PDSI < — 3) over much of the continental United States and extreme drought (PDSI < — 4) over much of Mexico.

(trouble is 35 is for carbon dioxide concentration, and 65 is for forcing, so if that's the calculation it was indeed a typo in a spreadsheet) Actually CO2 as a percentage of all radiative forcing would be: 43/65 * 100 = 66 % You messed up the link (I think) so that it actually leads back to this page rather than the FAQ section http://illconsidered.blogspot.com/2006/02/whats-wrong-with-warm-weather.html Never mind, as you know, I don't think the costs imposed by that change are large, not as long as sea level rise is only 50 cm over a hundred years (and the midpoint for the scenarios I consider most policy relevant, ie those excluding lots of coal burning after 2050, is somewhat lower still) and the change in «weather extremes» largely amounts to nothing more than what would be expected from moving south a few hundred kilometres.

The forces present in typical car accident scenarios are extreme.

However, the situation is far more problematic in scenarios where the balance of the life insurance policy loan is approaching the cash value, or in the extreme actually equals the total cash value of the policy — the point at which the life insurance company will force the policy to lapse (so the insurance company can ensure full repayment before the loan collateral goes «underwater»).

Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sharply criticized the NPR (see here in Russian), in particular, for lowering the threshold of the use of nuclear weapons and allowing the use of nuclear weapons in «extreme circumstances», which are not limited to military scenarios and with military scenarios covering almost any use of military force.
