Sentences with phrase «get total emissions»

While this is a good way to get total emissions of methane in a remote location where the main source of the gas is natural gas production, it is not a good way to pin emissions down to any one well, gathering or processing activity in the basin.

For calculating emission, it's more accurate to multiply the emissivity at each point by the Planck function at that point and sum over all wavelengths to get the total emission.

And this will change over time — CO2 emissions should keep getting lower just from reducing fossil fuel usage in proportion to total energy use.

At that point, in about 1,000 years, ~ 20 % of our total emissions would remain in the atmosphere, although that ~ 20 % figure for the remnant does creep up as the quantity of CO2 we release gets bigger.

Hence, we get a strong idea of total methane emissions over all source sectors but get much less information about individual sectors.

Thus, the concept of an emissions budget is very useful to get the message across that the amount of CO2 that we can still emit in total (not per year) is limited if we want to stabilise global temperature at a given level, so any delay in reducing emissions can be detrimental — especially if we cross tipping points in the climate system, e.g trigger the complete loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

So, to recap, the U.S. — which has one of the best CO2 - emissions - reduction track records in the world — is being held up as the bad guy, while the countries busily increasing their CO2 emissions, including number one culprit China (now responsible for around 30 per cent of the world's total emissions) get a free pass.

I think I get your point, but to avoid confusion it would really help if you could just state your best estimate of the realtive contribution of N2 / O2 and CO2 to total emission from the atmosphere.

In a joint announcement, President Obama said the U.S. would cut its GHG emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 — about double the pace the U.S. had been targeting in the 2005 - 2020 period — while President Xi Jinping said China would aim to cap its emissions increases by 2030, by which time it expected to get 20 percent of its total energy consumption from zero - emissions sources.

For instance, global cementitious production by companies in the «Getting the Numbers Right» (GNR) increased by 76.9 % (from 507 to 897 million tons) between 1990 and 2015, whereas global total net CO2 emissions increased by only 43 % (from 383 to 549 million tons).

@manacker: The «last 15 years» emissions» were only one - third of the total cumulated emissions, IOW «half of the warming» figures out to a longer time lag than 15 years, so I just wondered from where you got the «15 year» figure.

Assuming that human CO2 emissions are going to continue at the same exponential rate we have seen in the past would get us to 1040 ppmv (Vaughan Pratt's Figure 7), a level that is most likely not even possible to reach because of the constraint in total fossil fuel availability).

The emissions from this exported coal are currently equal to the total emissions we produce here at home, and if government and industry get their way, these emissions will double again.

The total and fuel - type specific annual emissions were subtracted from the baseline to get the reductions during the RGGI program.

If Gov. Brown really wants to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions in California he has got to start with H2O emissions.

According to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, if every American were to drive a car that gets 31 mpg, instead of the current average of 21.4 mpg, total U.S. carbon emissions would drop by 5 percent.

Instead, you tried to defend the obvious contradiction of combining backradiation with total transparency, arguing that you can get emission from substances that don't absorb.

Hohne said these six countries make up roughly two - thirds of the developing world emissions, which are more than half of the global total; include everybody and you get a 16 percent reduction in cumulative emissions from the developing world.

In consequence of that absorption of CO2 from atmosphere to sea surface sinks gets slower which makes more CO2 from total CO2 emissions stay in atmosphere; e.g. comments https://judithcurry.com/2011/08/04/carbon-cycle-questions/#comment-198992; and https://judithcurry.com/2013/01/16/hansen-on-the-standstill/#comment-287036.

I did a modeling exercise a few years ago by tabulating different forcings — CO2 concentrations, sulfur emissions, total solar irradiance and the PDO and AMO — giving each a weighting and playing with the weightings until I got a best fit to the 20th century global temperature record.

The sectors are summed to get total energy - related CO2 emission changes.

In terms of how I got the numbers, I integrated the rate of anthropogenic CO2 emission to measure the total CO2 emitted versus time, then compared it to the % change in concentration level.

I am not sure I get how you arrived at this: «During this period, anthropogenic CO2 emissions amounted to about 20 % of the total CO2 emissions» I suspect you may be forgetting that the emissions are cumulative, so even a flat blue line would go with a rising orange one.

And then you need to know ALL of them for EVERY source of Energy generation to get the TOTAL CO2 emissions related to energy generation AND usage.
