Sentences with phrase «stabilizing global atmospheric concentrations»

Not exact matches

The science is clear: Global warming and climate disruption will continue to accelerate until we stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

Of course, if you're serious about stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, achieving the American goal in 2020 is just step one in what would have to be a centurylong 12 - step (or more) program to completely decouple global energy use from processes that generate heat - trapping emissions.

on the need to stabilize atmospheric GHG concentrations, even as global energy use continues to grow.

Stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions will require a reduction in global emissions of at least 80 % below 1990 levels by 2050.

This is true because most mainstream scientists have concluded that the world must reduce total global emissions by at the very least 60 to 80 percent below existing levels to stabilize GHG atmospheric concentrations at minimally safe atmospheric GHG concentrations and the United States is a huge emitter both in historical terms and in comparison to current emissions levels of other high emitting nations.

Stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases will require a radical transformation of the global energy system over coming decades.

Economists and climate scientists have developed a number of models to estimate global emissions prices that are consistent with ultimately stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations at these target levels and minimizing the global burden of mitigation costs over time.

Given the growing urgency of the need to rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and the hard - to - imagine magnitude of global emissions reductions needed to stabilize atmospheric concentrations at reasonably safe levels, the failure of many engaged in climate change controversies to see the practical significance of understanding climate change as an ethical problem must be seen as a huge human tragedy.

The science is clear: Global warming and climate disruption will continue to accelerate until we stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

They concluded that it is not possible to stabilize atmospheric CO2 concentrations and meet global energy needs «without drastic technological breakthroughs.»
