Not exact matches

Under the strictest pathway (RCP 2.6), which assumes an early peak of greenhouse gas emissions which then decline substantially, the potential net increases in mortality rates at the end of the century be minimal (between -0.4 % and +0.6 %) in all the regions included in this study, highlighting the benefits of the implementation of mitigation policies.

Coal consumption, in particular, saw steep declines by dropping 18 percent, while natural gas use dipped just 1 percent, versus 2015 rates.

At the same time, however, production from all other sources — such as conventional gas fields on land and offshore as well as so - called tight gas and coal - bed methane — has been declining at a rate of about 5 percent per year.

Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) fell 4.9 percent in 2012 as declining deforestation rates and a drought - induced drop in cattle herds outweighed increased emissions from the energy sector, an independent study showed on Thursday.

Global rates of temperature change in high and declining greenhouse gas emission scenarios.

A dramatic decline in the ability of the Earth to soak up man - made emissions of carbon dioxide, and a corresponding acceleration in the rate of increase of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, have been detected for the first time by scientists.

IHS and IPIECA argue that decline rates mean the world will continue to need new oil and gas projects.

The inappropriately - named «greenhouse» effect is actually the effect of absorption / emission of IR radiation due to radiatively - active gases combined with the effect of declining temperature with height of the atmosphere (lapse rate).

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).

As Bryce points out, shale natural gas wells deplete at a very fast rate: «The new shale gas wells... have steep decline curves, meaning that output from some wells may fall by 80 to 90 percent during the first year of production.»

«Although deforestation rates have declined since the early 2000s, deforestation and other land - use change still accounts for 14 % of greenhouse gas emissions in the world.

The major concern over the current massive increase in shale gas is its very rapid decline rate.

Its rate of CO2 decline then increases gradually, reaching 3.3 % by 2020, and 4.4 % by 2050; for all gases combined, the maximum rate of decline reaches 3.4 %.

(Interesting side note, this rate and also the absolute CO2 emission from electricity generation in NY state has declined substantially over the past 30 years — mostly due to a shift from coal to natural gas.)

Because the growth rate in production is expected to vary (generally ranging from 2 to 4 %), African gas production is projected to peak at roughly the same time (2035 — 2045) in all three cases before declining slowly thereafter.

All told, if one assumes that emissions decline at a steady rate between each of those milestones, total U.S. greenhouse - gas output between 2012 and 2050 would be equivalent to about 154 billion tons of carbon dioxide.

If Argentina instead focuses on planning for a managed decline of already producing fields, emissions from the country's oil and gas sector could fall largely in line with the rate of reductions needed to keep warming below 2 degrees Celsius.

Ciardiello expects higher gas prices and rising interest rates to trigger a decline in consumer spending in the casual dining sector.

«We feel that the availability rate is rising because consumers have turned circumspect due to the slowdown in the housing market and that their spending is being affected by high gas prices, so retail space absorption is declining,» says Abigail Marks, an economist at Torto Wheaton.
