This newest threat follows on the heels of overfishing, sediment deposition, nitrate pollution in some areas, coral bleaching caused by global warming, and increasing ocean acidity caused by carbon emissions.

A new report published today by researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Sheffield shows that global carbon emissions could be cut by one gigatonne per year (3 % of global emissions) in less than five years if other countries followed the same strategy.

Our ensemble fire weather season length metric captured important wildfire events throughout Eurasia such as the Indonesian fires of 1997 — 98 where peat fires, following an El Niño - induced drought, released carbon equivalent to 13 — 40 % of the global fossil fuel emissions from only 1.4 % of the global vegetated land area (Fig. 4, 1997 — 1998) 46 and the heatwave over Western Russia in 2010 (Fig. 4, 2010) that led to its worst fire season in recorded history and triggered extreme air pollution in Moscow51.

Finally, to revisit the question originally posed @ 203: Assuming the IEO2011 Reference case of «1 trillion metric tons of additional cumulative energy - related carbon dioxide emissions between 2009 and 2035», and given that this case equates to following RCP8.5 until 2035 as previously demonstrated @ 408, what increase in average global surface temperature relative to pre-industrial would result by 2035?

The NCAR 2000 black carbon global emission is set at the average of the GISS and GFDL 2000 values, and follows this scaling in the future, for illustrative purposes.

As a number of scientific articles have shown, most recently by Kevin Anderson and Alice Bows in the Journal of the Royal Society, limiting the world to 2 °C warming most likely requires peaking total global carbon emissions in the next 5 - 10 years followed by immediate reductions to near - zero by 2050 (see Anderson and Bows emission trajectory options here, via David Roberts, and by David Hone here).

And (2) with regard to its main rationale, carbon emissions cause warming, the vector of causation is backwards: atmospheric CO2 concentration follows global warming, empirically and theoretically, while human emissions are lost in the noise.

However, if high - emitting nations take the «equity» and «fairness» requirement seriously, they will need to not only reduce ghg emissions at very, very rapid rates, a conclusion that follows from the steepness of the remaining budget curves alone, but also they will have to reduce their ghg emissions much faster than poor developing nations and faster than the global reductions curves entailed only by the need to stay within a carbon budget.

For example, the management of any global biodiversity conservation goal through the mitigation hierarchy could follow a similar framework to the United Nations» management of carbon emissions, with nation states setting their own national goals and targets that then sum to achieve overarching planetary goals.

I am sorry that it bothers you that Carl Zimmer would post a graph that shows temperatures rising followed 800 years later by carbon dioxide emissions rising as proof as a historical connection carbon dioxide emissions increases leading to global warming, and then when challenged on this point, can not update the graph to show the carbon dioxide emissions predating global warming.
