Sentences with phrase «particularly high emissions»

Given the range for climate sensitivity, it is clear that it is possible that we could follow a reasonably high emission pathway and not warm substantially (okay, this may not be true if we follow a particularly high emission pathway, but let's agree that there is a possibility that warming will not be substantial for some reasonable emission pathway).

Many studies have demonstrated the risks that ocean acidification pose to marine organisms, such as coral dissolving in more acidic water.6 However, new findings suggest that the August and September time period could be particularly challenging for the earliest life stage of elkhorn coral — an important reef - forming coral of the Caribbean — if we continue on a path of high carbon dioxide emissions.5 Ordinarily each August or September elkhorn corals flood the water with eggs and sperm (gametes) for sexual reproduction.2
The nation is once again assessing how best to stimulate the deployment of advanced energy technologies in response to recent high energy prices — caused by the growing world demand for energy, wars in the Middle East, and last year's hurricanes — and concerns about the adverse environmental effects, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, of using conventional fossil energy.
