Sentences with phrase «total cumulative carbon emissions»

This will result in the smallest total cumulative carbon emissions for a given cost by 2050 or so.

Solomon argues that «long - term temperature change remains primarily associated with total cumulative carbon emissions, owing to [their] much longer atmospheric residence time.»

Not exact matches

Our analysis combines published relationships between cumulative carbon emissions and warming, together with two possible versions of the relationship between warming and sea level, to estimate global and regional sea - level commitments from different emissions totals.

Shown are three idealized Co2 emission paths (a) each consistent with total cumulative emissions (b) of 1 trillion tonnes of carbon -LSB-...]

This watershed, painstaking analysis traces emissions totaling 914 gigatons of carbon dioxide - equivalent — which amounts to 63 % of the cumulative worldwide emissions of industrial CO2 and methane between 1751 and 2010 — to 90 so - called «carbon major» entities worldwide.

The idea of a «carbon budget» that ties an amount of future warming to a total amount of CO2 emissions is based on a strong relationship between cumulative emissions and temperatures in climate models.

They could cut cumulative carbon dioxide emissions by 34 billion metric tons, more than the total emissions from fossil fuels in this country over six years.

Wasdell said that the draft submitted by scientists contained a metric projecting cumulative total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, on the basis of which a «carbon budget» was estimated — the quantity of carbon that could be safely emitted without breaching the 2 degrees Celsius limit to avoid dangerous global warming.

What this figure shows are the global emission trajectories (in Gigatonnes, Gt, of carbon) that are required to limit humanity's total cumulative emissions (that is, the sum total of all carbon that we will ever emit) to a certain level.

Because all 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenarios — except Representative Concentration Pathway 2.6 (RCP2.6), which leads to the total radiative forcing of greenhouse gases of 2.6 W m − 2 in 2100 — imply that cumulative carbon emission will exceed 1,000 Gt in the twenty - first century, our results suggest that anthropogenic interference will make the initiation of the next ice age impossible over a time period comparable to the duration of previous glacial cycles.»
