Sentences with phrase «stabilisation level for»

It is also worth remembering that the earlier we start cutting emissions the cheaper it will be to do so and we will also be able to reach a lower stabilisation level for CO2 in the atmosphere.

There was a conference held at the begining of this year that went over this sort of thing, it was subtitled «Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change» and you can find the presentation [slides] that were presented at http://www.stabilisation2005.com/programme.html There's a lot of interesting things about possible thresholds, stabilisation levels for CO2 and emission reduction pathways and the potential costs.

Not exact matches

As with the entire Golf range, the new GTD will feature class - leading levels of safety with ABS, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) and seven airbags, including for the first time a knee airbag, all standard.

Also, as with the entire Golf range, the new GTI features class - leading levels of safety with ABS, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) and seven airbags, including for the first time a knee airbag, all as standard.

Nevertheless, climate sensitivity is part of the puzzle, and it particularly matters if you are interested in stabilisation scenarios, since it indicates what a particular equilibrium CO2 level will mean for equilibrium climate.

30 more years of business - as - usual will make it impossible to keep temperatures from rising beyond Eemian levels (see here for some discussion of stabilisation scenarios), and decisions (on infrastructure, power stations, R&D, etc.) that are being made now will determine the emissions for decades to come.

Costs are relative to the baseline for least - cost trajectories towards different long - term stabilisation levels.

Many don't get this — but it goes for both the temperature targets of ≤ 2 degrees (UN, G8, G21) and ≤ 1.5 degrees (wiser people) and the internationally accepted maximum GHG concentration level of 450 ppm — and for the CO2 stabilisation concentration level of 350 ppm (Hansen and many other climate scientists): if we know «2» is the right answer, we're not that clever when we fail to comprehend 1 +1 is the logical route to getting there.]

For example, stabilisation at 550 ppm (resulting in a temperature increase relative to pre-industrial levels of nearly 2 °C) only reduces the number of people adversely affected by climate change by 30 - 50 % (Arnell, 2006).

The topics addressed include critical thresholds and key vulnerabilities of the climate system, impacts on human and natural systems, socioeconomic costs and benefits of emissions pathways, and technological options for meeting different stabilisation levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The potential for further reductions in warming, both up to 2100 and beyond, through non-CO2 gases, depends on whether, in more comprehensive scenarios (when such become available), their stabilisation levels are less than the levels assumed here.

For stabilisation in 2100 with SRES A1B atmospheric composition, Greenland would initially contribute 0.3 to 2.1 mm yr — 1 to sea level (Table 10.7).
