The end of the year also saw international negotiators agree to a plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions to keep that temperature from rising beyond 2 °C (3.6 °F) above pre-industrial levels to limit the adverse impacts of warming, such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels and potentially more extreme weather.

Beyond equilibrium climate sensitivity -LSB-...] Newer metrics relating global warming directly to the total emitted CO2 show that in order to keep warming to within 2 °C, future CO2 emissions have to remain strongly limited, irrespective of climate sensitivity being at the high or low end.»

Beyond that, I'm not sure about the invoking of the «last fifteen years of science,» but a good reference to support the 1.5 ºC threashold would be Schleussner et al (2015) «Differential climate impacts for policy - relevant limits to global warming: the case of 1.5 ºC and 2ºC»

In the next 50 years, even the lower limit of impending climate change — an additional global mean warming of 1 degree Celsius above the last decade — is far beyond the range of climate variability experienced during the past thousand years and poses global problems in planning for and adapting to it.

Even if natural gas combustion creates approaching 50 percent less CO2 equivalent per unit of energy produced, an amount which is well beyond best case on ghg emission reductions, it will not create the much greater emissions reductions necessary in the next 30 years to give any hope of limiting warming from exceeding levels that will cause catastrophic impacts.

The conclusion that limiting CO2 below 450 ppm will prevent warming beyond two degrees C is based on a conservative definition of climate sensitivity that considers only the so - called fast feedbacks in the climate system, such as changes in clouds, water vapor and melting sea ice.

b. All nations agreed to limit the increase in global average temperatures to «well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels» — the level beyond which scientists believe the Earth will likely begin to experience rapid global warming and to «pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels», a warming amount which may also cause serious global harms particularly to many poor, vulnerable nations.

Along with many other economists, my view on global warming - associated climate change is that the world is most unlikely to be able to agree and coordinate globally, and then sustain for the centuries required, the growth - denying policies that would be needed if we were to limit human - induced global warming to any material effect beyond the [continue reading...]
