Sentences with phrase «reduce cumulative emissions»

Shifting the region's forecast coal capacity in 2035 from the current mix to ultra-supercritical would reduce cumulative emissions by 1.3 billion tonnes.

Not exact matches

Holding concentrations or temperature (more remotely) to a particular target therefore means limiting cumulative emissions of, say, carbon over time... a limited amount of time if we are talking about an iterative approach, and over a long period of time if we are talking about reducing the likelihood of some very nasty consequences well after we (but not our grandchildren — if we are lucky enough to have some) are gone.

Their unwillingness to take immediate action is intellectually and morally bankrupt because unless carbon emissions are stopped very soon (remember that the damage is cumulative so continuing to emit at current of even reduced rates still causes additional damage hundreds if not thousands of years into the future.)

Their argument — in which they had much support from other developing nations — was: Screw you guys if you think we're going to dramatically reduce emissions without a significant amount of foreign aid from the countries who have vastly outstripped our own cumulative emissions.

Since only half of what we emit «remains» in the atmosphere, this means we would need to reduce CO2 emissions by a cumulative 1,000 Gt..

This relationship between cumulative emissions and warming is not perfect, as it will change based on what happens to non-CO2 greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, as well as how quickly climate - cooling aerosols are reduced.

Requires the EPA Administrator to promulgate regulations establishing a program to use emission allowances set aside to reduce GHG emissions from deforestation in developing countries, with the objectives to: (1) achieve 720 million tons of reductions in 2020 and a cumulative emission reduction of 6 billion tons by 2025, (2) build institutional capacities in developing nations; and (3) preserve intact, native forests.

(2) Although developing countries are historically least responsible for the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change and continue to have very low per capita greenhouse gas emissions, their overall greenhouse gas emissions are increasing as they seek to grow their economies and reduce energy poverty for their populations.

This means that, up to roughly 1.8 °C, the cumulative emissions between 2010 and 2050 has some skill in predicting peak CO2 - induced warming, but this skill is reduced for higher temperatures.

As fossil - based power generation is replaced with wind and solar power, cumulative carbon emissions from centralized power facilities will be greatly reduced.

Here, we show that the introduction of emissions floors does not reduce the importance of cumulative emissions, but may make some warming targets unachievable.

Adopt binding, verifiable, ambitious accords at COP15 [vi] reducing greenhouse gas emissions to achieve sustainable safe cumulative levels, incorporating equitably differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing countries, and substantial penalties for excessive emissions.

Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming, such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.

> If 100 companies commit to doubling energy productivity by the year 2030, over 170 million metric tons of cumulative GHG emissions could be reduced.

With efficient electrification — opportunities for electrification that lower cost, lower energy use, and reduce air emissions and water use — the study projects cumulative load growth of 24 % to 52 % by 2050.

As the paper states: «Due to early emissions reductions, S3 achieves lower cumulative emissions in 2050 than a pathway that linearly reduces emissions between 2020 and 2050 policy targets.»

The purpose of the «social cost of carbon» (SCC) estimates presented here is to allow agencies to incorporate the social benefits of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into cost - benefit analyses of regulatory actions that impact cumulative global emissions.

In the 1,000 Gt C scenario, the probability of glacial inception during the next 100,000 years is notably reduced, and under cumulative emissions of 1,500 Gt C, glacial inception is very unlikely within the entire 100,000 years.

Any delay in reducing CO2 emissions is likely to lead to higher cumulative emissions, and more warming.
