A recent trend in GCMs is to extend them to become Earth system models, that include such things as submodels for atmospheric chemistry or a carbon cycle model to better predict changes in carbon dioxide concentrations resulting from changes in emissions.

From his own research in chemical oceanography, along with data from a number of recent studies, Weber points out that some negative consequences of greenhouse gas emissions and warming «are manifesting faster than previously predicted,» including ocean acidification and oxygen loss, which are expected to affect «a large fraction of marine species if current trends continue unchecked.»

The study highlighted significant impacts of this trend, including land clearing for farming, logging and settlement; introduction of invasive species; carbon emissions leading to climate change and ocean acidification; and toxins that poison the ecosystem.

Jos de Laat had helpfully replied to two previous questions (concerning what was included in the emissions and the method used for the average trend), and I'm sure he or the other authors involved would have been happy to clarify anything else that might have come up.

Worldwide, vegetation fires are showing a trend toward longer burning periods, increased fire severity, larger areas burned and increased (mostly human caused) frequency — with all of these factors contributing to more damaging environmental impacts, higher shares of emissions and increasing socioeconomic costs, including greater threats to human health and security.

He recently wrote a Policy Forum paper in Science reviewing his and other research on widespread misunderstanding of this kind of risk, including a 2007 study he was a co-author of in which 84 percent of 212 M.I.T. participating grad students drew curves for proposed emission trends that would result in concentrations continuing to climb.

On the energy / emissions trends, we're about the only publication I know of that has given sustained, in - depth coverage to the glaring lack of energy research, the limits of current efforts (including the existing renewables markets), and the real - world choices that faces a species heading toward 9 billion people, all of whom would love the gifts that come with ample energy.

The page includes links to the EPA's inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, which contains emissions data from individual industrial facilities as well as the multiagency Climate Change Indicators report, which describes trends related to the causes and effects of climate change.

While the NCA authors coyly admit that the region's «climate trends include contributions from both human influences (chiefly heat - trapping gas emissions) and natural climate variability» they are quick to add «[t] hey are also consistent with expected changes due to human activities.»

So, when you say «demonstrate that long term, global temperature trends matched the model projections when anthropogenic emissions were included in the inputs along with natural variability».

This trend of rapid decoupling of emissions from economic output was driven firstly by improvements in energy efficiency and secondly by lower carbon intensities, including reduced coal use in China and the United States and growth in low - carbon renewables such as wind and solar in many parts of the world (Peters et al 2017).

These trends include — in addition to falling water tables — eroding soils and rising temperatures from increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
