Sentences with phrase «low emissions trajectory»

This in turn provides optimism that the world can deliver a low emissions trajectory.

Finally, it should be noted that socioeconomic hypotheses associated with the lower emission trajectories (such as the one commented upon by Tim Worstall) imply a greatly increased use of nuclear and fossil fuels, especially cooal and natural gas, and the share of renewable sources reaching much less than the «80 %» claimed by the recent «renewable energy» IPCC report.

«Lower emissions» are in line with Paris agreement targets; «higher emissions» represent current, business - as - usual trajectories.

To investigate how different climate trajectories might influence climate change vulnerability, we assessed species using high (A2), moderate (A1B) and low (B2) IPCC SRES emissions scenarios for 2050 and 2090 [20](Figure 4; Supporting Methods in Supporting Information S1).

Our new paper shows that «on the ground» management can help polar bears into a better future IF we also strongly mitigate temperature rise by lowering future emissions from their current trajectory.

Domestically it would appear that major shifts in the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions will come as a result of the larger scale development and deployment of lower emitting sources of energy rather than through a climate bill that constrains emissions.

Although this will significantly raise its projected greenhouse gas emissions, the present study has identified numerous measures which can be taken to shift this future development pathway on to a lower carbon and more climate friendly trajectory.

20The modeled trajectory attempts to impose lower carbon reductions in the early compliance years, within the constraints of maintaining the 10 - year average interim emission performance goals, and not require any state to reduce its annual emission performance goal below its final 2030 target in any compliance year.

The future concentrations of LLGHGs and the anthropogenic emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), a chemical precursor of sulphate aerosol, are obtained from several scenarios considered representative of low, medium and high emission trajectories.

* Pledges for emissions cuts by 2020 that were made by the world's biggest emitters in 2010 don't correspond to the «lowest cost» emissions reduction trajectory and would lead to greenhouse gas concentrations of as much as 650 ppm by 2100.

«In its final months, it's encouraging to see the Obama administration taking action to lock the country in to a long - term, low - emissions trajectory.»

On the basis of realistic emission trajectories — we should probably expect the lower limit of projections — and that with great uncertainty.

In the case of RCPs, the initial idea was to posit just an emission trajectory, which could potentially be produced by a variety of socioeconomic developments (higher or lower pop growth, higher or lower GDP growth, different combinations of energy sources).

We can observe this phenomenon in figure 1 by comparing the lowest green and yellow emission pathways and temperature trajectories.

Such plans aim to help cities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adopt low emission development trajectories, as well as adapt to the impacts of climate change and build local climate resilience.

We conclude that greenhouse gas emission trajectories on the low end of the current forecast range are the most likely to be observed over the next 50 years.»
