The reduction is usually associated with a policy target, such as a cap in an emissions trading scheme or a given level of stabilization of heat - trapping gas greenhouse gas) concentrations in the atmosphere.

Some of the meteorological threats, like extreme downpours and heat waves, are sure to worsen in a human - heated climate, with warming from elevated levels of heat - trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases seen by many climate scientists as already contributing to the severity of rains like those over Texas in recent days and Louisiana last year.
