«Instead of focusing on the exact timing of China's emission peak, the more important question is whether China is building a foundation for deep decarbonization over the long term,» Song said.

And in the long term, human emissions would have to drop to ZERO in order to stabilize concentrations, because the deep ocean will eventually reach equilibrium with the surface layers.

But deep divisions persisted over how to set a long - term global goal for cutting emissions and what to expect from individual countries in charting their own paths toward achieving such a goal later in the century.

A more likely scenario if we do nothing is that emissions will continue at a rapid pace as oil from sand and shale plus coal substantially replace oil and natural gas, with the consequence that we will have dug ourselves into a deeper hole in terms of having sufficient resources to reduce emissions sufficiently without major disruption to our society.

The vision is also flawed in other ways: it has no short - term emission reduction goal, it's unenforceable, and it fails to acknowledge that developed nations will need to make deeper and swifter emission cuts than developing nations.

To limit the long - term risks of sea level rise and the costs of adapting to it, we must work toward deep reductions in the global warming emissions that are the primary cause of rising sea levels.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Emissions Gap Report 2016 published today is yet another proof that ambitious objectives of the Paris Agreement require stronger short term action already before 2020 and deeper emission cuts in the period until 2030.

Basically per the work of Zeebe and others, the idea is that in those times (and today) the rates of CO2 emissions, and temperature increases, overwhelmed the short term feedbacks (biosphere, surface ocean etc), before the long term feedbacks (deep ocean, weathering, etc) could cut in to process them.

Over the past decade, aerosol emissions (which cause cooling by blocking sunlight) have risen, solar activity has been low, there has been a preponderance of La Niña events (which also cause short - term surface cooling), and heat has accumulated in the deep oceans.

Furthermore, it's easy to see from this equation that as population rises through the coming decades, as expected, either the combination of the GDP per Capita or Carbon Intensity of the Economy terms must fall nearly to zero, in order to drive deep reductions in the Carbon Emissions side of the equation.

Now what that means is not to be pessimistic in the long term about our ability to reduce emissions from agriculture, just that it's going to be slower and harder to actually achieve deep reductions in the sector over the next 50 or 100 years.

Friends of the Earth Europe assessed the Paris Agreement as weak and is calling on European governments to urgently commit to deeper emissions cuts in the short and long - terms.

The shift from binding and long term emissions targets to voluntary Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) made inevitable the second historic shift in international climate mitigation efforts, which is the formal and explicit recognition that we do not, in fact, have all the technology we need to achieve deep reductions in emissions.

In 2018, strengthened INDCs would need to include (1) deeper emission reductions by 2030, (2) longer term targets with substantial cuts in emissions, and (3) participation by all nations.

He also said, «The agreement and the decisions surrounding it needs to be a long term development plan providing the policies, pathways and finance for triggering a peaking of global emissions in 10 years» time followed by a deep, decarbonisation of the global economy by the second half of the century — a development plan that crucially also supports the growth as well as the climate ambitions of developing countries.»

Our results show that very aggressive future emissions reduction pathways, in which rapid and deep mitigation begins today (not 5 - 10 years earlier as in many emissions scenarios), would be approximately consistent with the long - term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.

The single line in the proposal Harper apparently found inadmissible was: «We call for a long - term global goal as well as binding commitments to deep, absolute emission reductions by developed countries.»

Carbon pricing is a nice way to help Australia achieve a mid-range emissions target, such as a reduction of 5 - 25 % by 2020, but it is not going to drive the deep, rapid changes required to meet long - term emissions goals.
