I showed in detail that these two proxy plans posted by SA, the Spross - quoted plan [1] and the Ceres Clean Trillion plan [2], offered about a 1 % reduction in emissions annually for decades,
more than an order of magnitude less than that required to avoid the climate Apocalypse!
As two of many examples, I showed in detail that the two proxy plans posted by SA, the Spross - quoted plan [1] and the Ceres Clean Trillion plan [2], offered about a 1 % reduction in emissions annually for decades,
more than an order of magnitude less than that required to avoid the climate Apocalypse!
That, to me, is what the real - world is willing to do (under quite favorable conditions almost unique to the Northeast), and is
more than an order of magnitude less than what is required to avoid the worst features of the climate Apocalypse.

This is
more than an order of magnitude less emissions reductions than that required to avoid the climate Apocalypse.

Once the system includes
more neurons and the kinks are worked out, it could supply data centers, autonomous cars, and national security services with neural nets that are
orders of magnitude faster

These data indicate that under many atmospherically - relevant conditions SOA particles are significantly
more viscous and
orders of magnitude less volatile
than assumed in traditional modeling approaches; SOA formation yields can be significantly higher
than previously reported values; and anthropogenic pollution enhance loadings
of SOA from biogenic precursors.
The
magnitude of the radiative forcing per doubling is equal to the effect
of band widenning, which is (BW1 + BW2) * depth
of valley or height
of hill, plus some additional effect in the center
of the band, which is on the
order of 1/2 * (BW1 + BW2) * increase in height or depth
of hill or valley; the central contribution could be
more or
less than that, but it will be
less than double (because the shape
of the absorption spectrum won't allow a square shape in the graph
of the spectral flux).
Total Anthropogenic waste heat is an
order of magnitude or
more less than the energy imbalance caused by increasing GH gases.
For instance, what is the usual response
of a CAGW movement supporter to learning that, under their own climate sensitivity assumptions, other forms
of geoengineering
than CO2 cutbacks could neutralize the predicted warming for < = ~ 1 % the cost and with
lesser biological side - effects (such as stratospheric dispersion
of micron - scale reflective dust staying suspended for months at appropriate altitude, in radiative forcing neutralizing
orders of magnitude more than its own mass in CO2)?
But the question remains whether or not it will in practice be
less costly
than some
of the other
less exotic specific actionable proposals made to date (i.e. at a cost
of less than around $ 16 trillion for 0.5 degC warming theoretically averted by year 2100) or
more costly by at least one
order of magnitude.
The models, acting on a scale with 8 - 10

However, (a) the anthropogenic emission is
less than a third
of the seasonal variation, and (b) the rapid changes to atmospheric CO2 concentration
of the seasonal variation indicate that during each year the system very rapidly adjusts to seasonal changes that are much greater
than the anthropogenic emission each year (in some places
more than an
order of magnitude greater; e.g. at Alert, Canada).
