Sentences with phrase «term emission projections»

Reliable GHG inventories are essential, both at national and international level, for: assessing the international community's collective and individual efforts to address climate change and progress toward meeting the ultimate objective of the Convention; evaluating mitigation options; assessing the effectiveness of policies and measures; making long - term emission projections; providing the foundation for emission trading schemes.

Not exact matches

The long - term warming over the 21st century, however, is strongly influenced by the future rate of emissions, and the projections cover a wide variety of scenarios, ranging from very rapid to more modest economic growth and from more to less dependence on fossil fuels.

He did flag that he was using RCP8.5 projections, which are the highest emissions trajectory of the 4 scenarios developed for AR5 (comparable to A2 scenario in IPCC AR4, which has the highest CO2 emissions in the near - term if I understand it correctly).

Anthropogenic carbon emissions lock in long - term sea - level rise that greatly exceeds projections for this century, posing profound challenges for coastal development and cultural legacies.

Projections of long - term committed SLR as a function of cumulative carbon emissions, with 66 % CIs, assuming (triggered case) or not assuming (baseline case) that eventual collapse of the WAIS is already inevitable.

Contribution from working group I to the fifth assessment report by IPCC TS.5.4.1 Projected Near - term Changes in Climate Projections of near - term climate show small sensitivity to Green House Gas scenarios compared to model spread, but substantial sensitivity to uncertainties in aerosol emissions, especially on regional scales and for hydrological cycle variables.

I am aware that models diverge in terms of future projections for equivalent emissions scenarios.

The term «projection», of course, is just another word for a «prediction» when specified forcings are prescribed; e.g. such as different CO2 emission scenarios - see Pielke (2002).

Global climate projections for 2050 and 2100 have, amongst other purposes, been used to inform potential mitigation policies, i.e. to get a sense of the challenge we are facing in terms of CO2 emission reductions.

For EIA's forecasts and projections on emissions and their key drivers, see the Short ‐ Term Energy Outlook (STEO), with monthly forecasts through 2018, and the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), with annual projections through 2050.

Its revised projection indicates that if we stick with business as usual, in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, average surface temperatures on «Earth by 2100 will hit levels far beyond anything humans have ever experienced.

So, when you say «demonstrate that long term, global temperature trends matched the model projections when anthropogenic emissions were included in the inputs along with natural variability».

«Scientists were quick to declare the results of the Turner et al paper, which covered 1 per cent of the Antarctic continent, did not negate a long - term warming because of man - made climate change... «Climate model projections forced with medium emission scenarios indicate the emergence of a large anthropogenic regional warming signal, comparable in magnitude to the late - 20th - century peninsula warming, during the latter part of the current century,» the Turner research concluded.»

Also, I am missing a specific statement that acknowledges that the short - term warming projections of TAR (0.15 ° to 0.3 °C per decade) and AR4 (0.2 °C per decade) turned out to be wrong, i.e. there has been no warming since the end of 2000, despite unabated human GHG emissions and atmospheric concentrations reaching record levels.

Here's one more reason why the final US climate bill really ought to be significantly strengthened: Climate Progress has done a bit of number - crunching of the EIA's Short Term Energy Outlook and finds that as it stands now, by the end of 2009 the US will already be halfway towards the emission reductions stipulated in ACES: The EIA projections say that by the end of 2009, United States» emissions will fall 6 %, due to «weak economic conditions and declines in the consumption of most fossil fuels.»
