Sentences with phrase «influenced by anthropogenic emissions»

Not exact matches

There is one and only one justification for a carbon tax — an attempt to influence the future course of the earth's climate (or, as some people prefer, to mitigate anthropogenic climate change) by trying to force down the emissions of the most abundant human - generated greenhouse gas.

As LST closely tracks air temperatures over the instrumental period, we can also infer that air temperatures in this region of East Africa varied in concert with the global average and thus were controlled primarily by the major forcings influencing temperatures over this timescale, both natural (solar radiation, volcanism) and anthropogenic (greenhouse - gas emissions; refs 19, 20).

In addition to that the lacking warming during the recent 15 years can not be explained by any change of CO2 content in the atmosphere, there are evidences available according to which the changes of CO2 contents in the atmosphere are dominated by natural causes, where influence of anthropogenic CO2 emissions is so minimal that it can not be found by measurements in reality.

To slow the rate of anthropogenic - induced climate change in the 21st century and to minimize its eventual magnitude, societies will need to manage the climate forcing factors that are directly influenced by human activities, in particular greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions.

Instead, carbon removal aims to reduce historical human influence on the climate system by decreasing the amount of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — essentially reversing the influence of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In this regard, carbon removal approaches share a common purpose with conventional climate mitigation technologies, which also seek to reduce human influence on the climate system (by reducing future anthropogenic GHG emissions).
